Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the prevalence of electronic devices in daily life, the limitations of wired energy transmission have become increasingly apparent. Wireless power transfer (WPT) techniques have gained widespread popularity as they reduce reliance on wired connections. Many mobile devices, e.g., sensors and medical devices, can be equipped with WPT module to extend their lifetimes. WPT technology can be divided into three main categories: magnetic induction, coupled magnetic resonance and microwave radiation. Related potential applications are emerging accordingly, e.g., electrical vehicles, unmanned aerial vehicles, passive sensor networks, and underwater devices. In order to implement the WPT on the practical devices and effectively improve the power transfer efficiency, various Modelling methods have been investigated in the recent years. These modelling methods can describe the electromagnetic field distributions of near field WPT, the equivalent circuit model of a typical WPT system, and the channel propagation of the RF-based remote WPT etc.
This Special Issue aims to present and disseminate the most recent advances related to the Modelling theories, methods and platforms of WPT systems.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:
- Equivalent circuit models of WPT;
- Electromagnetic field Modelling and simulations for inductive or magnetic resonance systems;
- Coil design and optimization models;
- Channel Modelling for microwave propagation of remote WPT systems;
- mmWave, Terahertz and reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) propagation Modelling for WPT;
- Optimization methods based on the WPT models;
- AI-based Modelling and related control methods;
- Communication Models of simultaneously wireless information and power transfer systems;
- Theoretical models of wireless powered localization network;
- New models for WPT IC design;
- Simulation software for WPT systems.

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.
