Radio-frequency (RF) energy transport is a viable technology to power small-sized sensors in Wireless Industrial Sensor Networks (WISN). 60 GHz wireless communication is the leading technology for next generation wireless networks and a potential technology to build WISNs. In this article, we focus on the efficiency of RF energy transport in WISNs with 60 GHz communications. We also present an antenna sphere with the supported analytics of the directional antenna in 60 GHz wireless communication. We describe and solve the spherical distribution problem of the directional antenna to maximize the efficiency of energy transport in the WISNs. Based on our extensive simulations, the antenna distribution performs better than other solutions in given WISN environment.
