Abstract
A system using a hybrid source of energy supply scheme is disclosed. The system includes a first circuit configured to transmit and receive electromagnetic waves, where the first circuit is configured to operate in one of a plurality of operation modes, where the plurality of operation modes includes a normal operation mode, an energy harvesting mode, and a sleep mode. The system further includes a second circuit coupled to the first circuit and configured in one of the plurality of operation modes. The second circuit includes at least one of a receiver or a transmitter, and a third circuit coupled to the first circuit and the second circuit. The third circuit configured to the normal operation mode when the first circuit is configured in the normal operation mode and the second circuit is configured in a normal operation mode. Further, the third circuit is configured to the energy harvesting mode when the first circuit is configured in the energy harvesting mode and the second circuit is configured in the sleep mode.
