Abstract
A system for remote powering at least one sensor or actuator from a RF power source including a flexible waveguide having a flexible dielectric layer and at least one flexible conductive layer connected to the flexible dielectric layer. The at least one sensor or actuator is arranged to be coupled to the flexible waveguide and the RF power source is arranged to be wirelessly coupled to the flexible waveguide and to generate RF power. The flexible waveguide guides the propagation of the RF power from the RF power source to the sensor or actuator in order to wirelessly power the sensor or actuator.
