Abstract
In recent years, wireless power transfer (WPT) has become a widespread method for charging and powering devices, including but not limited to consumer electronics, industrial applications, electric vehicles, medical devices and sensor nodes. This paper provides an overview of the available WPT technologies, focusing on the near-field case, and highlights the main architecture and circuit-level challenges encountered in the implementation of magnetic-based near-field WPT systems while reviewing the proposed solutions in literature, in order to identify the main research interests as well as the trends for the future.
