Unconventional Array Design for Efficient Wireless Power Transmission

The design of unconventional arrays for far-field wireless power transmission (WPT) is addressed. The architecture complexity of conventional arrays is reduced proposing an irregular tiled architecture that allows to reduce the number of transmit modules while affording an efficient power transfer. The beam collection efficiency is maximized through the optimization of the irregular tiling layout and of the amplification coefficients, and by assuring a full aperture coverage with the tiles shapes.
