Abstract	In the recent past, wireless power transfer (WPT) has attracted a lot of research interest as enabling technology for wireless sensors networks, within the context of the Internet of Things, and to finally achieve fully autonomous electronic devices. A setup where wirelessly powered electronic devices are deployed on the human body is both very appealing and very challenging. Indeed, autonomous sensors that are unobtrusively integrated into the wearer's jacket may monitor body parameters and the user's environment while remaining invisible to the mobile user as well as to other persons in his/her proximity. Unfortunately, the body-centric environment is one of the hardest configurations to implement such a wireless transfer, given the movement of the wearers and the potential health hazards associated to the exposure to radiofrequency (RF) fields.
