In this paper, a mid-range wireless power transfer (WPT) system based on metamaterials (MMs) has been presented. It has been shown that the MMs are positioned in the WPT system to focalize the electromagnetic field for distance enhancement and efficiency improvement theoretically and experimentally. The MMs were fabricated by using a single layer printed-circuit board (PCB) with the negative magnetic permeability, μr. An applicable impedancetuning technology was implemented by changing the operating distance between the drive (load) resonator and the internal resonator, which can achieve the optimal load of the system. In addition, the Class-E RF (radio frequency) power amplifier is firstly proposed as the high frequency excitation source of the WPT system based on the MMs due to its simple design and high efficiency. The proposed technology can achieve efficiency improvements of 4.26% and 9.13% at distances of 100 cm and 200 cm around the 2.80 MHz WPT system with the MMs, respectively. Specially, it is worth mentioning that the system efficiency is enhanced by 18.58% at 160 cm. The measured results indicate the WPT system based on the MMs can assure a stable output power of 5W at a transfer distance of 200 cm.
