Talk Title: Electrically Small Huygens Rectenna and Array for Wireless Power Transfer Enabled Battery-Free IoT System
Far field wireless power transfer (WPT) enabled Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications are the emerging technology and the future trend along with the rapid development of 5G IoT ecosystems. WPT-enabled IoT devices enjoy many advantages as battery-free, environmental-friendly, capable of operating in remote places without manual maintenance. This talk will introduce a series of advanced antenna technologies for far field WPT-enabled battery-free IoT system. In particular, the recent work about AI-assisted WPT enabled supercapacitor-energized IoT sensor system will be introduced.
