A bio-inspired microwave wireless system for constituting passive and maintenance-free IoT networks.

ABSTRACT: With the rapid expansion of wireless networks, the deployment and long-term maintenance of distributed microwave terminals have become increasingly challenging. To address these issues, we present a bio-inspired microwave system to constitute passive and maintenance-free wireless networks. Drawing inspiration from vertebrate skeletons and skins, we employ stimuli-responsive polymer with tunable stiffness to support and protect sensitive electromagnetic structures, and synthesize self-healable skin-like polymer for system encapsulation. Owing to the biomimetic strategy, our system combines outstanding flexibility, electromagnetic stability, structural robustness, and self-healable performance. On the other hand, to address power supply issues, our system modulates ambient electromagnetic wa
