  • Publication number: 20170251145
    Abstract: A passively powered image capture device includes a remote execution unit structured to receive commands from a base station and an imaging device coupled to the remote execution unit. The imaging device is structured to be controlled by the remote execution unit based on the commands received by the remote execution unit. The passively powered image capture device also includes an antenna and energy harvesting circuitry coupled to the antenna, the remote execution unit and the imaging device. The energy harvesting circuitry is structured to convert RF energy received by the antenna to DC energy for powering the remote execution unit and the imaging device.
