Abstract
A fully planar wireless power transfer (WPT) system via strongly coupled magnetic resonances is presented. In it, both the transmitter and the receiver are planarized with the use of coplanar printed spiral coils (PSCs) and a printed loop. An equivalent circuit model of the proposed planar WPT system is derived to facilitate the design, and a flowchart is provided for the optimization of the system with given size constraints. To realize high peak power transfer efficiency, the quality factor of individual loop or resonator, the mutual coupling between resonators, and the frequency splitting phenomenon of the system are analyzed in addition to the effect of the input impedance of the system on the transmission efficiency. Furthermore, parallel current paths are created by applying auxiliary strips to the backside of the substrates and connecting to the prime resonators using vias to decrease the resistance and to increase the quality factor of the PSC resonators, and this in turn further improves the transfer efficiency of the proposed planar WPT system. The measured results show that the proposed WPT system is able to provide a stable wireless power transfer with up to 81.68% efficiency at a distance of 10 cm. The planar structure and the high transfer efficiency make the proposed design a suitable candidate for wireless power transfer of small portable electronic devices.Keywords
