As a revolutionary hardware technology that can reconfigure the propagation environment, re-configurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) have been re-garded as a promising solution to enhance wireless networks. In this paper, we consider a multiuser multiple-input single-output (MISO) wireless power transfer (WPT) system, which is assisted by several RISs. In order to improve energy efficiency and re-duce hardware cost, we consider that the energy trans-mitter (ET) in the WPT system is equipped with a constant-envelope analog beamformer, instead of a digital beamformer. Focusing on user fairness, we study a minimum received power maximization prob-lem by jointly optimizing the ET beamforming and the RIS phase shifts, subject to the constant-envelope constraints. We iteratively solve this non-convex max-min problem by leveraging both the successive con-vex approximation (SCA) method and the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) algorithm. Numerical results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm and show attractive performance gain brought by RISs.
