Popis: In this paper, a novel dielectric metasurface-inspired multi-beam directional Luneburg lens is proposed as a wireless power transfer medium at 5G mm-wave band. The lens is constructed using dielectric-based unit cells made up of a glide symmetric approach. It is connected with a set of microwave detector integrated multi-port tapered rectangular feeds to convert the received RF energy from different directions to DC power across a combined load. The proposed structure can be a potential candidate to harvest ambient energy from a wide coverage range of around 160° and produce a power conversion efficiency of about 76% for an input power of 14.9 dBm at 24 GHz.
