A Physically Consistent Assessment of Nearfield Beamfocusing into Occluded Regions

Research indicates that complex "Airy beams" offer no significant performance advantage over simpler line-of-sight strategies for transmitting power to partially occluded RFID tags. This finding allows manufacturers and integrators to reduce system complexity and computational overhead by simply activating antennas with unobstructed paths rather than employing elaborate beam-shaping algorithms.
