Abstract: Wide area environmental monitoring is currently carried out with expensive and energy hungry remote sensing devices (satellites, radar, etc…) which offer low spatial resolution. As such there is a need for low-cost wide-range sensing devices that can be deployed in large numbers on a continuous or on-demand basis in order to obtain cheap and very high resolution monitoring. In addition, self-sustainable energy harvesting is a critical issue to be solved for these deployed sensor nodes since they will operate in a wide variety of environments.
