Novel Resonance-Based Wireless Power Transfer Using Mixed Coupling

Abstract

This study presents an equivalent circuit model for the analysis of wireless power transfer (WPT) through both electric and magnetic couplings using merely a resonant coupler. Moreover, the frequency split phenomenon, which occurs when transmitting couplers are near receiving couplers, is explained. This phenomenon was analyzed using simple circuit models derived via a mode decomposition technique. To verify the proposed method, a resonant coupler using mixed coupling was designed and its efficiency was compared with the result obtained using a commercial electromagnetic solver. The results of this study are expected to aid in designing various WPT couplers or sensor antennas by selecting electric, magnetic, or mixed couplings. Furthermore, the results of this study are expected to be applied to technologies that sense objects, or simultaneously transmit and receive information and power wirelessly.
