Abstract

In this paper, we demonstrate electromagnetic wave focusing and rectification based on time reversal as a smart method for far-field wireless power transfer. Time reversal in a complex propagation environment allows for transmission of high peak power pulses by focusing the electromagnetic waves selectively regardless of the receiver position. We demonstrate wave focusing and radio frequency (RF) to direct current (DC) rectification via numerical simulation of a complex propagation environment. The results reveal that time reversal can ensure peak power up to 12 dB greater compared to a narrowband continuous wave signal, thereby enhancing the rectified DC voltage with better efficiency.
