I have only recently taken the time to look at the links to Arbabian's=20
radio chip, and it appears that the pdf paper itself requires purchase=20
and / or  ieee login.   I'm particularly interested in the energy=20
harvesting aspect.  The chip is supposed to use 1.5 uWatts, but I've=20
seen no info on how that gets harvested from a 2.4 GHz antenna that is=20
1/10 the size of a normal antenna.  I can only imagine that  the 2.4 GHz=20
transmitter talking to it must be a high power unit, and would require a=20
minimum proximity to the chip.

Did I miss this part of the discussion?  Are there any links to this info?
