Abstract

This research aims to develop an ultra-wideband millimeter-wave system with Simultaneous Wireless Information and Power Transfer (SWIPT), and Wireless Power Transmission (WPT) for the relays. As a large attenuation of a millimeter-wave path requires beamforming technology and relay for transmission, high- and low-resolution phase adjustments are used for optimizing beamforming. And a multi-objective function with the preset highest Bit Error Rate (BER) for SWIPT is presented. We discovered that the optimization of the beamforming by applying the adaptive differential algorithm has increased the harvesting power. To do so, we optimize the radiation pattern to meet the BER constraint for SWIPT and increase the harvested power ratio for the system simultaneously. In other words, our algorithms focus on increasing the harvesting power as soon as the information criteria is achieved. With WPT and SWIPT, the ratio of the total energy harvesting for the high-resolution array antennas is two times larger than that for the low-resolution ones. Numerical results also show that the harvesting power for the relay pointing to multiple targeted antennas simultaneously is about two times larger than that of pointing to each antenna by the time division techniques.
