Abstract
In this paper, we introduce two different approaches for the virtualization of power cords for electrical devices. The first approach is a new concept for routing electric power by wireless transfer on two-dimensional surfaces, such as floors and walls. Unlike any other existing wireless power transfer scheme, this method can deliver electric power over a wide range with minimal loss. We realize this method using multi-hop displacement of a magnetic antenna array. Each array element can be selectively resonated with adjacent elements to deliver power without physical contact. The second approach utilizes far-field RF energy harvesting. Using an efficient voltage multiplier and adaptive software-based control, it is possible to operate low-power wireless sensors continuously.
