This letter demonstrates a wireless power transmission scheme based on distributed retro‐reflective beamforming experimentally. The wireless power transmitter, which includes eight antennas distributed in space, receives pilot signals from a mobile device and then focuses radio frequency power onto the device's location through analyzing the pilot signals. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
