Abstract

An apparatus and a method of transporting energy from a base station to energize a remote RF transponder having an energy store is described, comprising transporting power in pulses of frequencies chosen from a randomly ordered list of frequencies, wherein the time between pulses when little power is transmitted is less than the time taken for the remote transponder to deplete the energy store.
