Abstract(in English) In this paper, we propose human-aware tracking null steering for microwave wireless power transfer and describe how to implement an electromagnetic field visualization system. The proposed method acquires the channel between a transmitter (Tx) and a moving human from the difference in time-variant signals and determines the beamforming weight that maximizes the ratio of the received power to the human exposure power. The weight is calculated sequentially to enable avoiding the moving human. In our developed electromagnetic field visualisation system, the electromagnetic field measurement scene is first captured by a camera and electromagnetic field information is assigned to each pixel in the camera image. The system then maps the electromagnetic field strength when the proposed BF is applied to the real environment image, thereby realising the visualisation of the electromagnetic field strength. The experiment demonstrated that the proposed method achieved a 10.1-dB higher ratio of the received power to the human exposure power than that of maximum ratio transmission. The results of the electromagnetic field visualisation show that it is possible to visualise the beam information corresponding to the human body position.
