This document discusses recent developments in wireless power transfer (WPT) technology. It covers:
1) The use of metamaterials to boost coupling between resonant coils and focus magnetic field lines to improve WPT efficiency over traditional materials.
2) A proposal to use the third harmonic produced during rectification for antenna alignment to maximize power transfer between a transmitting and receiving antenna.
3) The design of a dual-band printed planar antenna for wearable applications operating at 2.5GHz and 4.5GHz.
4) An embroidered textile antenna created with conductive thread on cotton for a bendable wireless power transfer receiver using magnetic resonance.
