Power is transferred wirelessly through a 3.1-mm thick aluminum barrier without any physical penetration and contact. Measurement results show that the class-E PA achieves a peak power gain of 25.2 dB and a maximum collector efficiency of 57.3\%, all at 200 Hz. The proposed system obtains a maximum power transfer efficiency of 9\% and it can deliver 5 W power to the receiver side through the aluminum barrier.} }
