A software-defined 2-bit Programmable Transmit Metamaterial (PTM) array surface with beam steering capabilities is proposed for indoor dynamic Wireless Power Transfer (DWPT) applications. The novel metamaterial unit cell structure is designed based on transmission phase, amplitude, and electric field response to model DWPT using PTM. Theoretical analysis of the electric field (e-field), coupling effect, and current distribution at the metamaterial interface enhances the intelligence and reconfigurability of the PTM lens. The modeled 2-bit 6×6 array PTM is designed to operate at a frequency of 4 GHz. The reconfigurable architecture comprises a fixed system with a single-layer PTM lens capable of 60° beam scanning. The PTM lens, along with a distribution board, is fabricated and experimentally tested. The results between simulation and measurements are in good agreement. The system enables dynamic …
