IMWS-IWPT 2012 - 2012 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Workshop Series (IMWS) on Innovative Wireless Power Transmission: Technologies, Systems, and Applications IMWS-IWPT2012

The year 2012 is more important for the WPT technologies. We have to discuss a variety of wireless power transmission technologies, for example, inductive, resonance, microwave, and energy harvesting, and their applications as well as the future of such technologies will be also debated in this workshop. This workshop is supported by MTT-TC-26.
