Wireless energy harvesting (EH) is a promising solution to prolong lifetime of power-constrained networks such as military and sensor networks. The high sensitivity of energy transfer to signal decay due to path loss and fading, promotes multi-antenna techniques like beamforming as the candidate tra...
