1 · Calibrate
Angular measurements are fitted with a Gaussian model. The measured maximum at each distance is related to the RF reference power obtained from the mathematical beamforming model.
EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH
An optical experimental approach for emulating the directional behavior of RF beamforming
This application supports the experimental study of selected observable characteristics of a directional radio-frequency beam generated through beamforming. The optical platform is not intended to reproduce RF electromagnetic propagation or energy transfer. Instead, it provides an experimentally accessible representation of the angular distribution and equivalent received-power behavior relevant to wireless energy harvesting and energy management.
2 · Establish correspondence
The calibrated relationship is PRF = PTX α ADCβ. The parameters α and β are obtained with the same logarithmic fitting criterion used in the reference Python procedure.
3 · Validate
A new measurement is characterized using its own optical floor. The angular pattern is normalized while preserving its measured peak, converted into equivalent optical power, and compared with the RF reference distribution.
Key idea. Illumination conditions may change between measurement sessions. The experimental test therefore estimates the session-specific floor B, removes it, and rescales the angular response so that its maximum remains the measured ADC maximum.
Calibrator
Estimate the RF–optical correspondence from the calibration measurements.

PRF = PTX α ADCβ
The fit uses the reference logarithmic criterion: ln(PRF,max/PTX) = ln(α) + β ln(ADCmax).
Experimental Test
Apply the stored calibration to a new angular measurement under its own illumination conditions.

Experimental Data
Download the measured CSV files associated with the experimental study. The archive is organized into calibration measurements and individual experimental tests.
Data archive
The files on this page are the original measurement data used with the optical experimental platform. They are provided separately from the processed results so that the measurements can be inspected, reused, and reproduced independently.
Data organization. Calibration files contain the angular measurements for the selected TX–RX distances. Test files contain individual angular measurements acquired under specific experimental conditions.
