Shannon meets Tesla: Wireless information and power transfer

The problem considered here is that of wireless information and power transfer across a noisy coupled-inductor circuit, which is a frequency-selective channel with additive white Gaussian noise. The optimal tradeoff between the achievable rate and the power transferred is characterized given the total power available. The practical utility of such systems is also discussed.
