 INTRODUCTION
 Even the companies that sell smart phones at
phenomenal rates have the issue of battery’s
performance.

 The performance is better as compared to others, but it is

still a mystery if discussed in terms of long life.

 What is batteryless phone?
 Needed no battery.

 Phone used to only calling function.

 device uses a minute photo diode to harvest energy from the

ambient light or RF sources.

 It operate the RF wave to convert DC power.

5
 WORKING
 Antenna receive RF wave.

 RF to DC converter convert radio frequency signal

to DC.

 Power condition check the required voltage and fed

to the output.

6
 Conversion of Signals to Power
 A photo diode for converting ambient signals and
light into current.

 It is a semiconductor, with p-n junction diode and an

intrinsic layer between two junctions.

 When photons of energy greater than 1.1 electron volt

(eV) strike the diode, electron-hole pairs are
originated.
7
 Holes proceed toward the anode and the electrons
move toward the cathode(generate photo current).

 The sum of photocurrents and dark currents, which

flow with or without light.

 It is the amount of current progressing through the

photodiode.

 Small amount of power is generated in the battery less

phone with the assistance of a tiny photo diode.

diode

 PROTOTYPE
 The team of researchers utilized the shell components on a
printed circuit board.

 It perform basic functions like calling someone up and then

hanging up the call without any inadequate call drops.

 A custom base station collects the data in form of digital

packages with the help of a “Backscatter.”

 The device inherits the signals with a technology referred as

“Zero Power Amplitude Modulation.”

 How solar cell works?
 Solar cell constitutes of P-N junction diode, which is
assembled from Silicon and Germanium.

 This process constructs open space for light to fall on P layer

and hence underlying the P-N junction.

 The bottom of N layer comprises of current assembling

electrode.

 When a light photon arrives at the junction, they exhilarate

electrons from valence band to conduction band.

 ADVANTAGES
 Conserves Electricity
 Saves Time
 Low Power Consumption
 No Charging Issues

15
 LIMITATIONS
 Limited range
 Use of solar cell
 Lacking multiple operational features

16
 FUTURE SCOPE
 Increase in the range
 Encryption
 Video streming
 Internet access
 Low power E-ink display

17
 CONCLUSION
 It was extremely astonishing to witness that a group of
researchers have finally developed a phone that uses no
power.

 which means the phone has no battery and harnesses energy

from ambient signals and light sources.

 That convert light and signal strength into a current which is

furthermore converted into few microwatts of power.

 With the phone, we can just dial a number and call to another
person.
