Abstract

The rapid advancement of the Internet of Things (IoT) has led to a proliferation of wireless devices that require efficient and reliable power transfer mechanisms. This paper delves into the various wireless power transfer technologies that are emerging as viable solutions for powering IoT devices. It begins with an overview of the challenges associated with powering wireless devices, emphasizing the need for compact, energy-efficient, and long-range power transfer. Subsequently, the paper explores different wireless power transfer technologies, including magnetic induction, resonance coupling, and microwave power transfer. Each technology is discussed in terms of its principles, advantages, limitations, and potential applications within the IoT domain. The paper also highlights the importance of safety and regulatory considerations in the deployment of these technologies. Finally, it discusses future directions in wireless power transfer research, focusing on advancements that could lead to even more efficient and widespread adoption of wireless power transfer for IoT devices.
