Today, the limit of wireless devices lays in the way they powered. There has been a renewed focus on wireless power transmission technology due to its wide range of application in charging electronic devices such as mobile, MP3 player and household robots without a cord. Imagine a device that doesn't need a charger or even a battery, which instead gets power wirelessly over the air. To make such a device possible the transfer distance of currently known system have to be increased. The wireless power transfer can be optimized base on Friis equation. The Friis transmission equation is developed from principle of optical radiometry and scalar diffraction. Friis equation will gives the amount of power an antenna received under ideal conditions from another antenna.

Power Transfer Efficiency

In a wireless power transfer (WPT) system, the power transfer efficiency (PTE) decreases sharply with the increase in transfer distance. Metamaterials (MMs) have shown great potential to enhance PTE in mid-range WPT systems. In this paper, we propose two MM slabs of a 3 × 3 array to enhance the magnetic coupling. The MM unit cell was designed by using square spiral patterns on a thin printed circuit board (PCB). Moreover, the asymmetric four-coil WPT system was designed and built based on the practical application scenario of wireless charging for unmanned devices. The simulation and experimental results show that two MM slabs can enhance power transmission capability better than one MM slab. By optimizing the position and spacing of two MM slabs, the PTE was significantly improved at a mid-range distance. The measured PTEs of a system with two MM slabs can reach 72.05%, 64.33% and 49.63% at transfer distances of 80, 100 and 120 cm. When the transfer distance is 100 cm, the PTE of a system with MMs is 33.83% higher than that without MMs. Furthermore, the receiving and load coils were integrated, and the effect of coil offset on PTE was studied.

The microwave wireless power transfer (MWPT) technology has found a variety of applications in consumer electronics, medical implants and sensor networks. Here, instead of a magnetic resonant coupling wireless power transfer (MRCWPT) system, a novel MWPT system based on a frequency reconfigurable (covering the S-band and C-band) microstrip patch antenna array is proposed for the first time. By switching the bias voltage-dependent capacitance value of the varactor diode between the larger main microstrip patch and the smaller side microstrip patch, the working frequency band of the MWPT system can be switched between the S-band and the C-band. Specifically, the operated frequencies of the antenna array vary continuously within a wide range from 3.41 to 3.96 GHz and 5.7 to 6.3 GHz. For the adjustable range of frequencies, the return loss of the antenna array is less than −15 dB at the resonant frequency. The gain of the frequency reconfigurable antenna array is above 6 dBi at different working frequencies. Simulation results verified by experimental results have shown that power transfer efficiency (PTE) of the MWPT system stays above 20% at different frequencies. Also, when the antenna array works at the resonant frequency of 3.64 GHz, the PTE of the MWPT system is 25%, 20.5%, and 10.3% at the distances of 20 mm, 40 mm, and 80 mm, respectively. The MWPT system can be used to power the receiver at different frequencies, which has great application prospects and market demand opportunities.

Uncertainty commonly exists in the wireless power transfer (WPT) systems for moving objects. To enhance the robustness of the WPT system to uncertain parameter variations, a modified WPT system structure and an interval-based uncertain optimization method are proposed in this paper. The modified WPT system, which includes two Q-type impedance matching networks, can switch between two different operating modes. The interval-based uncertain optimization method is used to improve the robustness of the modified WPT system: First, two interval-based objective functions (mean function and variance function) are defined to evaluate the average performance and the robustness of the system. A double-objective uncertain optimization model for the modified WPT system is built. Second, a bi-level nested optimization algorithm is proposed to find the Pareto optimal solutions of the proposed optimization model. The Pareto fronts are provided to illustrate the tradeoff between the two objectives, and the robust solutions are obtained. Experiments were carried out to verify the theoretical method. The results demonstrated that using the proposed method, the modified WPT system can achieve good robustness when the coupling coefficient, the operating frequency, the load resistance or the load reactance varies over a wide range.

Insufficient power supply is a huge challenge for wireless body area network (WBAN). Body channel wireless power transfer (BC-WPT) is promising to realize multi-node high-efficiency power transmission for miniaturized WBAN nodes. However, the behavior of BC-WPT, especially in the multi-node scenario, is still lacking in research. In this paper, the inter-degeneration mechanism of a multi-node BC-WPT is investigated based on the intuitive analysis of the existing circuit model. Co-simulation in the Computer Simulation Technology (CST) and Cadence platform and experiments in a general indoor environment verify this mechanism. Three key factors, including the distance between the source and the harvester, frequency of the source, and area of the ground electrodes, are taken into consideration, resulting in 15 representative cases for simulation and experiments studies. Based on the simulation parameters, an empirical circuit model to accurately predict the received power of multiple harvesters is established, which fits well with the measurement results, and can further provide guidelines for designs and research on multi-node BC-WPT systems.

In the article, a wireless charging system with the use of periodically arranged planar coils is presented. The efficiency of two wireless power transfer (WPT) systems with different types of inductors, i.e., circular and square planar coils is compared, and two models are proposed: analytical and numerical. With the appropriate selection of a load resistance, it is possible to obtain either the maximum efficiency or the maximum power of a receiver. Therefore, the system is analyzed at two optimum modes of operation: with the maximum possible efficiency and with the highest power transmitted to the load. The analysis of many variants of the proposed wireless power transfer solution was performed. The aim was to check the influence of the geometry of the coils and their type (circular or square) on the efficiency of the system. Changes in the number of turns, the distance between the coils (transmit and receive) as well as frequency are also taken into account. The results obtained from analytical and numerical analysis were consistent; thus, the correctness of the adopted circuit and numerical model (with periodic boundary conditions) was confirmed. The proposed circuit model and the presented numerical approach allow for a quick estimate of the electrical parameters of the wireless power transmission system. The proposed system can be used to charge many receivers, e.g., electrical cars on a parking or several electronic devices. Based on the results, it was found that the square coils provide lower load power and efficiency than compared to circular coils in the entire frequency range and regardless of the analyzed geometry variants. The results and discussion of the multivariate analysis allow for a better understanding of the influence of the coil geometry on the charging effectiveness. They can also be valuable knowledge when designing this type of system.

AbstractFor far-field wireless power transfer (WPT) in a complex propagation environment, a time-reversal (TR) based WPT that can overcome the drawbacks of conventional beamforming (BF) by taking advantage of multipath has been recently proposed. However, due to the WPT performance of BF and TR depending on the complexity of the propagation environment, the performance prediction between BF versus TR would be required. We present a detailed and generalized analysis of the recently proposed performance metric referred to as the peak received power ratio (PRPR) for linear array-based WPT. Here, the effectiveness of PRPR is verified via measurement for free space and indoor scenarios. The results demonstrate that PRPR is directly related to the complexity of the propagation environment and the corresponding power transmission capability of BF and TR. That is, the higher the complexity, the greater the value of PRPR and TR outperforms BF with higher peak power given the same average transmit power and vice versa. The mode decision between BF and TR based on PRPR potentially promises efficient far-field WPT even in a dynamic propagation environment.
