Abstract
Adaptive inductive wireless power transfer (IWPT) systems can operate despite coils displacement or changes in properties of biological tissue surrounding the coils. The main tuning methods of IWPT systems include input power adjustment, operating frequency tuning and impedance tuning. In this work, impedance tuning of IWPT system based on class-E power amplifier was studied. Capacitive tuning is a method of impedance tuning. During numerical modeling of the IWPT system, two cases were considered. In the first case, capacitances of the series and shunt capacitors in the amplifier loading network were calculated using by Sokal's equations. In the second case, capacitances were calculated and adjusted manually. In the first case maximum efficiency was less than 50 %, and switch power losses were reaching 22…61 % of the total input power. In the second case maximum efficiency was 82 %, and switch power losses were less than 5 % of the total input power. Therefore, verification of capacitive tuning in the IWPT system with a class-E power amplifier was successful.
