Abstract

Simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) architecture is commonly applied in wireless sensors or Internet of Things (IoT) devices, providing both wireless power sources and communication channels. However, the traditional SWIPT transmitter usually suffers from cross-talk distortion caused by the high peak-to-average power ratio of the input signal and the reduction of power amplifier efficiency. This paper proposes a SWIPT transmitting architecture based on an asynchronous space-time-coding digital metasurface (ASTCM). High-efficiency simultaneous transfer of information and power is achieved via energy distribution and information processing of the wireless monophonic signal reflected from the metasurface. We demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed method through theoretical derivations and experimental verification, which is therefore believed to have great potential in wireless communications and the IoT devices.
