Publication number: 20240088940Abstract: A node of a radio frequency system can include a signal splitter, a power rectifier and conditioner, a communication filter, and a network processor. The signal splitter is configured to split a radio frequency transmission between a power path and a communications path within the node. The power rectifier and conditioner are configured to produce a conditioned power signal based on power received through the power path. The communication filter of the communications path is configured to produce a filtered communication signal. The network processor is powered by the conditioned power signal and configured to extract encoded information from the filtered communication signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 11, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Jonathan Gilson, Joseph V. Mantese, Gurkan Gok, Joseph Zacchio, Coy Bruce Wood, William R. Shaw
