SWIPT Concept

This course introduces the SWIPT (Simultaneous Wireless Information and Power Transfer) concept, which enables the simultaneous transmission of both information and energy over wireless communication channels. SWIPT plays a key role in enabling energy-efficient wireless networks, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and 5G communication systems, as it allows devices to harvest energy while receiving data.
