Abstract
A multi-antenna system for harvesting energy and transmitting data includes an energy storing unit, antenna transmission units, and a load unit. Each antenna transmission unit includes an antenna module, a splitting module, an energy generation module, and a data processing module. The splitting module splits a wireless signal received by the antenna module into a first splitting signal and a second splitting signal and transmits the first splitting signal to an energy generation module to convert the first splitting signal into electrical energy stored in an energy storing unit and provided to the data processing module. The energy storing unit provides the electrical energy for the load unit. The data processing module receives one of the second splitting signals, converts it into a control signal, and transmits the control signal to the load unit. The load unit operates according to the control signal.
