Magnetic resonant coupling (MRC) is one of the techniques that are widely used in wireless power transfer (WPT) systems. The technique is commonly used for enhancing distance while maintaining power transfer efficiency (PTE). Many studies have investigated new technologies to extend the distance of MRC while maintaining high PTE values. The most promising technique to date in MRC is the addition of a resonator between the transmitter and the receiver coil. The implementation of the resonator varies based on different designs, sizes, and material types, although the outcomes remain unsatisfactory. By introducing dielectric material resonators, PTE can be improved by lowering the ohmic loss which becomes a problem on conventional resonators. This study presents a general overview on the use of dielectric material as a resonator in MRC WPT technology and its technological development. The basic operation of MRC WPT is summarized with up-to-date technical improvements related to dielectric material as a resonator in the field of WPT. An overview of the current limitations and challenges of this technique is also highlighted in this study.

The free-positioning wireless power transfer (WPT) system has drawn attention in recent years. Traditionally, a WPT system can transfer energy in one or two directions on the same plane, but it leads the restrictions of angle and axis misalignment between a transmitter and a receiver coil. In this paper, we propose a free-positioning WPT system using a three-dimensional cubic-shaped transmitting coil for portable device charging. A small receiving coil is placed inside the transmitter to achieve the transferred energy through the magnetic resonant coupling. In addition, the equivalent circuit and the mutual inductance between the Tx and Rx coils are analyzed. Finally, a practical experiment is implemented to verify the transfer performance, which can reach up to about 50% power transfer efficiency. The proposed system can charge in spatial freedom.


A typical magnetic resonance based wireless power transfer (WPT) system comprises a transmitter coil and an embedded receiver coil used for wireless charging of the electrical and electronics devices. It has been investigated that the coil structure influence the power transfer efficiency of the wireless charging system .The investigations have been carried out in order to determine a suitable coil type and geometry so as to achieve higher efficiency of a wireless power transfer system. The present investigation will afford the design strategy for an efficient wireless charging system .

Most of the coil designs for wireless power transfer (WPT) systems have been developed based on the “single transmitter to a single receiver (S-S)” WPT systems by the empirical design approaches, partial domain searches, and shape optimization methods. Recently, the layout optimizations of the receiver coil for S-S WPT systems have been developed using gradient-based optimization, fixed-grid (FG) representation, and smooth boundary (SB) representation. In this paper, the new design optimization of the transmitter module for the “single transmitter to multiple receivers (S-M)” WPT system with the resonance optimization for the S-M WPT system is proposed to extremize the total power transfer efficiency while satisfying the load voltage (i.e., rated power) required by each receiver and the total mass used for the transmitter coil. The proposed method was applied to an application model (e.g., S-M WPT systems with two receiver modules). Using the sensitivity of design variables with respect to the objective function (i.e., total power transfer efficiency) and constraint functions (i.e., load voltage of each receiver module and transmitter coil mass) at each iteration of the optimization process, the proposed method determines the optimal transmitter module that can maximize the total power transfer efficiency while several constraints are satisfied. Finally, the optimized transmitter module for the S-M WPT system was demonstrated through comparison with experiments under the same conditions as the simulation environment.

Electronic devices usually operate in a variable loading condition and the power transfer efficiency of the accompanying wireless power transfer (WPT) method should be optimizable to a variable load. In this paper, a reconfigurable WPT technique is introduced to maximize power transfer efficiency in a weakly coupled, variable load wireless power transfer application. A series-series two-coil wireless power network with resonators at a frequency of 150 kHz is presented and, under a variable loading condition, a shunt capacitor element is added to compensate for a maximum efficiency state. The series capacitance element of the secondary resonator is tuned to form a resonance at 150 kHz for maximum power transfer. All the capacitive elements for the secondary resonators are equipped with reconfigurability. Regardless of the load resistance, this proposed approach is able to achieve maximum efficiency with constant power delivery and the power present at the load is only dependent on the input voltage at a fixed operating frequency. A comprehensive circuit model, calculation and experiment is presented to show that optimized power transfer efficiency can be met. A 50 W WPT demonstration is established to verify the effectiveness of this proposed approach.

In this paper, we present theoretical analysis and detailed design of a class of wireless power transfer (WPT) systems based on strong coupled magnetic resonances. We established the strong coupled resonance conditions for practically implementable WPT systems. We investigated the effects of non-ideal conditions presented in most practical systems on power transfer efficiency and proposed solutions to deal with these problems. We carried out a design of WPT system by using PCB (Printed Circuit Board) antenna pair, which showed strong coupled magnetic resonances. The innovations of our design include: (1) a new coil winding pattern for resonant coils that achieves a compact space volume, (2) fabrication of resonant coils on PCBs, and (3) integration of the entire system on a pair of PCBs. Extensive experiments were performed and experimental results showed that our WPT system setup achieved a guaranteed power transfer efficiency 14% over a distance of two times characteristic length(44cm). The wireless power transfer efficiency in this PCB based experimental system was sufficiently high to lighten up a LED with a signal generator.

Power transfer efficiency in loosely coupled inductive systems can be enhanced by resonance. Primary and secondary can be tuned to same resonant frequency. In this paper, MOSFET-based Varactors and switchable capacitors are used for re-tuning of such a system at 13.56 MHz. This is achieved either using each cap structure alone or as a hybrid model. These techniques are designed for 13.56 MHz wireless power transfer system.

The vast majority of the modernized implantable devices and Bio-sensors are set inside a patient’s body. To overcome this constraint, in this paper we have designed a rechargeable battery with wireless power transfer technique. The transdermal power transfer for the Pacemaker which is placed inside the heart should be possible by the concept of mutual inductance. The receiver loop ought to be situated inside the body and the transmitter curl ought to be situated outside of the body. The voltage controller will give or manage the necessary yield (output) voltage. The experiments were conducted on wireless charging through pork tissues reveal that from a 3.919-mw power source, 3.072-mw power can be received at 300kHz, reaching a high wireless power transfer efficiency of 78.4%, showing that the charging is very fast. We have also connected a Bluetooth Module to the Atmega328 microcontroller. This Bluetooth technology is used in the Android mobile application to notice the charging levels of the pacemaker. This Inductive power transfer technique takes out the danger of contamination which is brought about by the medical procedure.
