This paper presents an electromagnetic energy harvesting scheme by using a composite magnetoelectric (ME) transducer and a power management circuit. In the transducer, the vibrating wave induced from the magnetostrictive Terfenol-D plate in dynamic magnetic field is converged by using an ultrasonic horn. Consequently more vibrating energy can be converted into electricity by the piezoelectric element. A switching capacitor network for storing electricity is developed. The output of the transducer charges the storage capacitors in parallel until the voltage across the capacitors arrives at the threshold, and then the capacitors are automatically switched to being in series. More capacitors can be employed in the capacitor network to further raise the output voltage in discharging. For the weak magnetic field environment, an active magnetic generator and a magnetic coil antenna under ground are used for producing an ac magnetic field of 0.2–1 Oe at a distance of 25–50 m. In combination with the supply management circuit, the electromagnetic energy harvester with a rather weak power output (about 20 μW) under an ac magnetic field of 1 Oe can supply power for wireless sensor nodes with power consumption of 75 mW at a duration of 620 ms.
