Abstract
Wireless power transfer comprises a set of heterogeneous technologies. Their correct applicability depends on the power requirements and the scenario in which it is expected to be used (position between transmitter and receiver, separation between them, electronics dimensions, etc.). First, this chapter describes how wireless power transfer systems have evolved. Then, the main operating principles of the wireless power techniques are explained.
