A Novel Three-Dimensional Beamforming Antenna Array for Wireless Power Focusing

Abstract EN

An antenna array capable of focusing the power transmitted to a specified point in space is modeled and simulated.

This array will serve best for wireless power transmission applications where one of the goals is to maximize the power transfer efficiency.

The array consists of 100 dipole antennas with each antenna transmitting a sum of 50 signals where each signal has a different frequency.

This difference in frequency gives an additional degree of freedom that allows the overall beam pattern to be focused to a point in space instead of just a direction.

The same array structure is also capable of transmitting power to multiple points in space which is promising when it comes to powering multiple points of interest.
