P2110-EVB
Evaluation Board for P2110 Powerharvester
®
Receiver
Description:
The P2110-EVB contains an evaluation board and antennas to test and develop with the P2110
Powerharvester Receiver. The P2110 converts RF energy (radio waves) into DC power and stores it
in a capacitor to provide an intermittent, regulated voltage output.
Items included:
1 – Evaluation Board for P2110 Powerharvester Receiver (see description on
next page)
1 – 915 MHz PCB dipole antenna (see description below)
1 – 915 MHz PCB patch antenna (see description below)
Note – this kit needs to receive power from an RF source such as a transmitter or test equipment.
Instructions:
1. Download the P2110 product datasheet from www.powercastco.com/documentation to learn
about the specific I/O and functions of the P2110.
2. Connect one of the antennas to the SMA connector (J1) on evaluation board, or connect J1 directly
to RF test equipment. See datasheet for maximum input power.
3. Adjust switches S2, S3, and S4 to desired settings. See descriptions on next page.
4. Place evaluation board on flat surface and connect test meters as desired.
5. Turn on the source of RF energy (e.g. Powercast transmitter, test equipment, other transmitter)
