Europe and the future for WPT: European contributions to wireless power transfer technologyEurope and the future for WPT: European contributions to wireless power transfer technology Peer-Reviewed Journal Publication Δημοσίευση σε Περιοδικό με Κριτές 2018-07-042017enThis article presents European-based contributions for wireless power transmission (WPT), related to applications ranging from future Internet of Things (IoT) and fifth-generation (5G) systems to high-power electric vehicle charging. The contributors are all members of a European consortium on WPT, COST Action IC1301. WPT is the driving technology that will enable the next stage in the current consumer electronics revolution, including batteryless sensors, passive RF identification (RFID), passive wireless sensors, the IoT, and machine-to-machine solutions. The article discusses the latest developments in research by some of the members of this group.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/IEEE Microwave Magazine18456-87 Carvalho Nuno Borges Geōrgiádīs, Apóstolos St Costanzo Alessandra Stevens Nobby Kraček, Jan Pessoa Luís M.
