\r\n\tGenerally, two main techniques are considered for WPT systems: the near-field and the far-field radio-frequency (RF) methods. Inductive and/or capacitive coupling are two types of near-field method operation. However, this technique is only capable of transferring power over short distances. In contrast, with WPT based on the far-field RF technique (referred to as far-field WPT), where power is transmitted by electromagnetic radiation, the transition of electrical energy over longer distances is made possible, at the cost of lower efficiencies. This feature makes the far-field method an attractive WPT option.
\r\n\tSome interests have been referenced in recent years towards low profile, low power, energy efficient and self-sustainable sensor networks. Many applications and devices are, nowadays, used for identification, tracking and inventory management. A major technology enabling these applications is Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), where a tag, that can be applied to or incorporated into a product, animal or person, is used for identification purposes using radio waves.
\r\n\tTo further promote the development of this area, we invite researchers to contribute original research papers on recent advances in the design and performance analysis of micro- and millimeter-wave systems that employ the concepts of WPT.

However, open access publishing fees also pose a barrier to many talented authors who just can’t afford to pay.
\n\nHumans in Space program aims to remove this barrier and pursue a model under which none of our authors will need to pay for publication and the editors will receive a budget for their editorial work.
\n\nWe are currently in the process of collecting sponsorship. If you have any ideas or would like to help sponsor the program, we’d love to hear from you.
