To increase the efficiency and safety of the road traffic, new concepts and technologies have been developed in Europe since 1992 for RTTT applications (Road Traffic & Transport Telematics). These applications use the Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) devices at 5.8 GHz (ISM band). In view of the reliability and success of this technology, the use of such equipment is thus extended to the EFC (Electronic Fee Collection) or e-toll and also in many other application areas such as fleet management, public transport and parking management. Due to the broad applications, these equipments are subject to various standards CEN/TC 278, CEN ENV (EN) 12253, ETSI, etc.... The DSRC system consists in a transceiver (reader) and transponders (tags). Industrial approaches are oriented to semi-passive transponder technology, which uses the same signal sent by the reader to retransmit, performing a frequency shift and encoding data to be transmitted. This design avoids the use of the local oscillators to generate the RF wave, as in active transponders, and save electrical energy of batteries. This allows the development of relatively low cost and small size transponders. Despite advances in integrated low-power circuits technology, this concept still requires a lithium battery to operate the transponder for a period of 4-6 years. However, with the expansion of these facilities, it appears that over the years the amount of lithium to destroy has become a crucial problem for the environment. Nowadays designing a completely autonomous DSRC transponder is not feasible, since the amount of energy required is still high (8 mA/3.6 V active mode). Nevertheless, reducing the transponder electrical power consumption, as a solution to at least double the battery life, could be a good start point to improve environment protection.In this thesis we propose a new DSRC transponder with an original statechart that considerably reduces the power consumption. After validation of the new low-power consumption mode, we studied the possibility to recharge the battery of the transponder by means of Wireless Energy Harvesting. The DSRC Toll Collection RF link budget was carried out in order to estimate the amount of energy available when a car with a transponder passes through a toll system. However, RF link budget at 5.8 GHz presents a low power density, since the car does not stay enough on the DSRC antenna's field to proceed to energy harvesting. Therefore we explored another ISM frequency, the 2.45 GHz. Thus the Wireless Energy Harvesting chapter aims to further the state of the art through the design and optimization of a novel RF harvesting board design. We demonstrated that an optimum RF-DC load is required in order to achieve high RF-DC conversion efficiency. Several rectifiers and rectennas were prototyped in order to validate the numerical studies. Finally, the results obtained in this thesis are in the forefront of the State-of-the-Art of Wireless Energy Harvesting for very low available power density.
