Abstract :
An overview of recent advances in the framework of remote wireless power transmission (WPT), currently under development at the ELEDIA Research Center of the University of Trento, are presented. Theoretical studies on the effects and interactions between electromagnetic waves and material media, when dealing with high-power density radiations, the synthesis of transmitting arrays with simplified architectures, and the design of innovative rectenna systems are discussed. Selected representative examples are reported to show the effectiveness and potentialities of some of the proposed solutions.
