Wireless Power Transfer And Applications To Sensor Networks. For sensor networks a limited lifetime due to battery constraint poses a performance bottleneck and barrier for large scale deployment. In this chapter we develop an unmanned aerial vehicle uav that can fly to remote locations to charge sensors using magnetic resonant wireless power transfer.
Wireless power transfer emerges as a promising solution to replenish the sensor nodes. For sensor networks a limited lifetime due to battery constraint poses a performance bottleneck and barrier for large scale deployment. On one hand ambient energy harvesting may prolong the systems lifetime or possibly enable perpetual operation.

Moreover the base station transfers power to the nodes by using wireless power transfer wpt to extend their battery life. Moreover the base station transfers power to the nodes by using wireless power transfer wpt to extend their battery life. We show how such technologies can be applied to sensor networks and address their energy constraints. Wireless power transfer emerges as a promising solution to replenish the sensor nodes.
