Independently of any electrical contact, running electronic devices such as smartphones, smart watches, RFID tags etc., is now attainable over small and large distances through Wireless Power Transfer technology. Although, designing systems maintaining appreciable power transfer efficiency still not always achievable. Using two parallel loops, the Theory of Characteristic Modes provides physical insight into the power transfer efficiency. Furthermore, to reach straightforward maximization of the modal power transfer efficiency, the focus of this paper is analyzing the impact of the separation distance and the overlapping between the two antennas on the characteristic modes and their contribution in the total efficiency of the power. The study considers different positions and frequencies of the two parallel antennas.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
