Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The transmission of information by radio waves has ushered in a new era of human communication. All radio technology is based on energy supply. As such, wireless power transfer will open up another new era of human energy, giving rise to applications hitherto confined to the realm of appear in science fiction. Meantime, the significance and impact of wireless power transfer on the public promise to be extraordinary. Wireless energy transmission technology has more advantages than the traditional wired power transfer relying on wires as transmission media. The wireless energy transfer is environmentally insensitive and suitable for large-scale and long-distance uses. To completely unlock the potential of wireless energy transfer, advanced hardware and algorithmic design methodologies must be developed.

This Special Issue aims to present and disseminate the most recent advances related to the microelectronic circuit and algorithm design for wireless energy transfer. Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Circuits and systems for wireless power transfer;
  • Power amplification;
  • Antenna array design;
  • Algorithm design for wireless energy transfer;
  • Novel applications of wireless energy transfer;
  • Multiphase machines and drives;
  • Simultaneous wireless information and power transfer;
  • Power converter.

Outphasing power amplifiers (OPAs) can be used in wireless information and power transfer systems due to their excellent conversion efficiency. With the rapid advancement of technology, there is a strong demand for OPAs to achieve wideband and multi-band operations to enhance frequency coverage. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the research progress on the development of broadband and multi-band board-level OPAs. Firstly, the paper introduces the fundamental components of an OPA. Then, the paper delves into a detailed analysis of the load modulation of OPAs. Subsequently, previous works on the circuit topology and design methods for broadband and multi-band OPAs are discussed and compared. The paper highlights various design strategies and their respective advantages and disadvantages. Finally, the paper explores some potential design methods for broadband and multi-band OPAs, discussing emerging technologies and highlighting potential research directions. Full article
