Abstract

In this paper, a metasurface-assisted multiport wireless power sensor is proposed and numerically verified for wireless power transfer (WPT) applications at mm-wave frequency band. A fully metallic 2D Luneburg lens constructed using glide symmetric unit cells, with a maximum gain of 18 dBi, acts as the radiating structure to receive the input RF power with a wide angular coverage range of ±70°. A set of optimized class F rectifiers are integrated with this multiport lens using waveguide to microstrip transitions to obtain high power conversion efficiency over a wide angular space. These rectifying circuits are further connected for DC power combining, and a maximum power conversion efficiency of 72% is obtained at an input power level of 15.8 dBm.
