Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wireless power transfer (WPT) technology has penetrated the cellular phone charging market over the recent decade, and it is an emerging technology for charging electric vehicles. As the technology in these markets has matured, the focus of research works has expanded towards WPT in dynamic environments, misalignment and distance tolerance, multi-device charging, long-range wireless power transfer, and space-based solar power. To promote a greater understanding of research work in WPT, this Special Issue, titled “New Insights of Wireless Power Transfer”, will include key developments in the theory of WPT, which will be verified through simulations and/or experiments.
We invite original manuscripts presenting recent advances in this area, including the following topics:
- Wireless power transfer systems;
- simultaneous wireless information and power transfer;
- Microwave power transmission;
- Power harvesting;
- Microwave rectifier and rectenna;
- Millimeter-wave and terahertz antennas;
- MIMO antenna;
- High-gain antennas;
- Compensators/decoupling networks;
- Dynamic beam focusing;
- Wireless power transfer efficiency;
- Wireless power transfer control;
- Misalignment and distance tolerance;
- Space-based solar power.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
