IEEE Winnipeg Waves Chapter (APS/MTTS/VTS) is pleased to present the following seminar
=================================================================
Seminar Title: Current Research and Development of Wireless Power Transfer via Radio Waves and the Application
=================================================================
Speaker: Prof. Naoki Shinohara
Distinguihsed Microwave Lecturer-IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society
Professor, Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan
=================================================================
Date: Friday, June 8th, 2018 at 11am

Abstract of the Presentation: Theory, technologies, applications, and current R&D status of the wireless power transfer (WPT) will be presented. The talk will cover both the far-field WPT via radio waves, especially beam-type and ubiquitous-type WPT, and energy harvesting from broadcasting waves. The research of the WPT was started from the far-field WPT via radio waves, in particular the microwaves in 1960s. In recent years this became a hot topic again due to the rapid growth of wireless devices. Theory and technologies of antenna and circuits will be presented in case of beam-type and ubiquitous-type WPT. The industrial applications and current R&D status of the WPT via radio waves will be also presented.
