The wireless powering system consists of the receiver and load elements designed on a printed circuit board. Studies are performed with the receiver and transmitter element in free space, and when in contact with the human skin. In these operating environments, the power transfer efficiency is measured for two cases: (a) when the transmitter and receiver are aligned and (b) when the transmitter and receiver are misaligned. The results demonstrate the undesired user and angular misalignment effects on wearable CSCMR systems. These studies will provide critical information for future investigations that focus on improving the performance of wireless powering systems with applications in wearable devices and health monitoring.","PeriodicalId":228233,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Workshop on Antenna Technology (iWAT)","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125013779","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The 2-d distribution of an incident RF power is measured on the surface of a finite size metamaterial absorbers, which is designed to suppress undesired edge scattering. The system is evaluated by the measurement of an RF wave transmitted from a dipole antenna. The measured distributions of incident RF power are consistent with those obtained by EM simulations, demonstrating practical effectiveness of the technique to measure RF power distributions.","PeriodicalId":228233,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Workshop on Antenna Technology (iWAT)","volume":"1137 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129071709","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
