Radio Signal Enabled Wireless Power Transfer

Energy Transmitter Energy Receiver

Wireless Energy Receiver Architecture

Why RF-based Far-Field Wireless Power Transfer (WPT)? longer distance than near-/mid-field WPT (e.g., RFID) advantages over traditional energy sources

low cost: no need to replace/dispose batteries safer: in e.g. toxic environment robust: overcome lack of sunlight/wind etc. (conventional energy harvesting) convenient: controllable, scheduled on demand

abundant applications sensor networks: building automation, healthcare, smart grid, structural monitoring….. consumer electronics: mice/keyboards, headsets, remote controllers, low-power displays…. functionality-enhanced RFID

Wireless Powered Sensor Network [XSHS]

A wireless charging vehicle (WCV) travels inside the sensor network to charge the sensor nodes wirelessly

Making a sensor network powered forever Wireless power transfer only, how about information collection

at the same time?

A sensor network powered by WCV. A WCV visits every sensor node to charge it.
