A performance predictor of beamforming versus time-reversal based far-field wireless power transfer from linear array

Abstract For far-field wireless power transfer (WPT) in a complex propagation environment, a time-reversal (TR) based WPT that can overcome the drawbacks of conventional beamforming (BF) by taking advantage of multipath has been recently proposed. However, due to the WPT performance of BF and TR dep...
