ABSTRACT
Mobile Phones are part of our life. It is the fastest and the easiest medium of
communication. Battery life of mobile phone is always been a problem for
manufacturers. People are complaining about their mobiles battery life, that they dont have
long battery life and they have to charge their phone several times. In this paper a new idea is
shown to charge your mobile phone anywhere you want without connecting its charger.
This is done using microwaves. Microwaves are the radio waves which provide
communication between two mobile phones. The microwave is sent with the message by the
transmitter using antenna at the frequency of 2.45GHz. Here we are using Microwaves as the
source of energy to charge the phone. We have to add a sensor, a rectenna circuit and a filer in
our mobile phone to do the job. By adding these things we can charge our phone using
microwave when we talk. So as we talk more we can charge more!!

Another important part is the Sensor. As we
know we are going to charge the phone
while a person is talking. So here sensor is
used to detect wither the phone is using
microwaves or not.
