Abstract

An indoor, high gain 60-GHz wireless power transfer system is proposed in a residential house filled with furniture and home appliances. A single transmitter composed of a 32 by 32 patch antenna array transfers power wirelessly to 5 different security cameras equipped with 32 by 32 patch array receivers located at 5 different positions around the house. The array exhibits a realized gain of 34.42 dB. The minimum required power to feed a prototype ultra-low power camera is 4.6 dBm (2.36 mW). In order to deliver the required amount of power to each receiver, an exhaustive search is conducted to find the best transmitter position in which the maximum amount of power is fed to all receivers. Overall, the necessary amount of power required to feed the ultra-low power camera is met, with an average power transfer of 22.03 dBm (0.16 W) at the best transmitter position.
