Abstract

An efficient wireless power transfer (WPT) system is proposed using two self-resonant coils with a high-quality factor (Q-factor) over medium distance via an adaptive impedance matching network using ferrite core transformers. An equivalent circuit of the proposed WPT system is presented, and the system is analyzed based on circuit theory. The design and characterization methods for the transformer are also provided. Using the equivalent circuit, the appropriate relation between turn ratio and optimal impedance matching conditions for maximum power transfer efficiency is derived. The optimal impedance matching conditions for maximum power transfer efficiency according to distance are satisfied simply by changing the turn ratio of the transformers. The proposed WPT system maintains effective power transfer efficiency with little Q-factor degradation because of the ferrite core transformer. The proposed system is verified through experiments at 257 kHz. Two WPT systems with coupling efficiencies higher than 50% at 1 m are made. One uses transformers at both Tx and Rx; the other uses a transformer at Tx only while a low-loss coupling coil is applied at Rx. Using the system with transformers at both Tx and Rx, a wireless power transfer of 100 watts (100-watt light bulb) is achieved.
