Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces for Wireless Power Transfer

The increasing power consumption of mobile IoT devices (wearables, portable devices) demands dynamic solutions to prolong time under power and reduce the need for expensive batteries and charging cables. Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces can be used to facilitate dynamic wireless power transfer by reflecting incident microwave radiation in a directed and concentrated beam toward one or more receivers. This project aims to further develop the real-world viability and security of this wireless power transfer system by using Wi-Fi signals as a pilot beam to aid in the process of locating and sending power to a moving device.
