Millimeter-Wave Resonant Beam SWIPT
The rapid expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT) necessitates robust solutions for charging and communicating with a multitude of devices, making simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) technology increasingly vital. However, existing methods can hardly provide high charging power, great channel capacity, and flexible mobility at the same time. This manuscript introduces a millimeter-wave resonant beam system for SWIPT (mmRB-SWIPT), leveraging retro-directive antenna arrays to enable automatic beam alignment and enhanced transmission efficiency without additional controls. A dual-frequency design allows the system to operate in a frequency-division duplex mode, thereby resolving the echo interference issues encountered in prior resonant beam systems. Analytical models are developed to evaluate the system’s viability and performance, with numerical analysis indicating the capability to transmit watt-level power and achieve 4.8 bps/Hz of spectral efficiency in indoor settings.
