Transmission Model for Resonant Beam SWIPT with Telescope Internal Modulator

To satisfy the long-range and energy self-sustaining communication needs of electronic devices in the Internet of Things (IoT), we introduce a simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) system using the resonant beam that incorporates a telescope modulator inside a cavity for suppressing diffraction losses. We theoretically analyze power transfer in the resonant beam system with telescope internal modulator (TIM-RBS) considering the electromagnetic field propagation, the end-to-end (E2E) power transfer, and power and information reception. The numerical evaluation demonstrates that the TIM can effectively compress the beam spot, which allows the TIM-RBS to transmit energy twice as far as the RBS without TIM at higher power. Additionally, the largest transmission distance and maximum output power are proportional to the input power, and about 34m transmission distance, 4W electric power, and 12bps/Hz spectral efficiency can be achieved in the TIM-RBS with 200W input power. Hence, TIM-RBS can be considered as a promising option for realizing long-range, high-power, and high-rate SWIPT.
