The transfer of power from source to receiver is a technology that has existed for over a century. Wireless power
transfer (WPT) has been made feasible in recent years due to advances in technology and better implementations of
transfer techniques, such as Microwave Power Transfer (MPT). The MPT system works by converting power to
microwaves through a microwave generator and then transmitting that power through free space where it is received
and converted back to power at a special device called a rectenna. The applications of MPT are numerous, not only to
change the way existing technologies work, but also as theoretical constructs for future constructs. While the benefits
are great, there are many limitations and drawbacks of MPT, necessitating the discussion of possible alternative
methods for WPT. The transfer of power wirelessly has the potential to completely disrupt and revolutionize existing
and future technologies.
