Wireless Power Harvesting

Hoping Mobile No Longer Depending Charger

Nokia desire to create a device that is capable of generating their own resources without depending on the Charger. This technology is called Wireless Power Harvesting. This is a device planted on the phone so no need to fill the power to activate it.

If this becomes reality, will be very efficient considering the charging current is still dependent charger and electricity.

Nokia said charging using technology-based Ambient Radio Waves (Ambient Radio Waves).

"Ambient Electromagnetic radiation from Wi-Fi transmitters, antenna cell phone, TV stations, and the other resources, can be converted into enough electricity to keep the battery remains fully charged", the statement Markku Rouvala, a researcher from the Nokia Research Centre.

Rouvala also said that his group is making the prototype (prototype) that can produce up to 50 miliwatts power. This power is sufficient to slowly recharge the phone active. He said, now is the new prototype is able to produce 3 to 5 milliWatts.

In charging Nokia future, its principles are the same as Crystal Set Radio or Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) with Electromagnetic Waves convert into electrical signals. This conversion will require two passive circuits. "Even if you only get Microwatts, you can still produce energy, provided you do not use the circuit is greater than the recipient," said Rouvala.

To increase the amount of power that can be collected and the range that can be run, Nokia will focus its attention on the results of several frequencies. "It takes a wide band receiver to capture signals from among the 500 megahertz to 10 gigahetz", said Rouvala.

Historically, new technology found in Energy Harvesting Wireless Sensors and RFID powering certain. If Nokia can prove the theory, then this will accelerate the implementation of Energy Harvesting Technology.

In early 2007, Joshua Smith of Intel and Alanson at the University of Washington, Seattle, developed a temperature and humidity sensors that draw power from 1.0 megawatts that emit signals along the 4.1 kilometers on a TV antenna. This technology requires only 60 microwatts power.

However, Smith said that to get 50 milliWatts, they need about 1000 a strong signal and the antenna is able to take on a range of frequencies that will result in loss of efficiency.

GSM INTERCEPTOR

In 2003, an Israeli researcher claimed he was with his team has found a way to tap conversations on GSM mobile phones. Not only can listen to an ongoing conversation, even knowing the identity of callers who can be tapped.

Furthermore, they can listen to a conversation while the phone is still in the ring condition, and within seconds can find out everything about the user.

Using special equipment, they can steal the conversation and get the data yourself when the caller talks are still ongoing.

Reportedly this is possible because the makers make the mistake of the GSM code to prioritize voice quality and sensitive to interference.

However, from the outstanding response time, weaknesses in the new GSM phones can be exploited with complex and expensive technology and requires a long time.

In Indonesia alone, make a fuss about mobile phone tapping equipment occurred earlier in the year 2005. Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), alleging the purchase of the tapping tool with which the price is too expensive RP.34 Billion. Because the seller reportedly rare and expensive tools of government which require the recommendation of this equipment will be purchased.

Tools that otherwise could tap a few numbers at the same time, both GSM, AMPS, and CDMA is suspected of already owned by the Police, the Armed Forces and the KPK.

Made in Israel
One of the tools easy to find a GSM telecommunications incisions are made in Israel.
Instrument called the GSM Interceptor is capable of intercepting communications on GSM networks 900, 1800 and 1900, both voice and SMS.

Interceptor GSM system in working with the target or capture special number at random. And a voice conversation or data can be monitored and can be recorded simultaneously.

The tool is packaged in a portable PC with a rack also includes a keyboard and LCD monitors. Besides voice, the Israeli-made device was able to identify the IMEI, IMSI, TMSI, and MSISDN. Tapping roaming capability can reach 25 KM.

But do not hope you can get this tool easily. Countries are only allowed to have them. The price also not cheap. One unit valued GSM Interceptor 420 thousand U.S. dollars or about Rp.4 Billion.
