Such operation is enabLED through the use of a dual-polarization-switching cantenna composed of two antennas embedded in the can so that radiated waves are orthogonally polarized. Each antenna enables high-power emission compared with a dipole antenna, and the difference between the gains of the antennas becomes small. In this way, switching between the antennas makes it possible to vary the supply power to the LED accessories. We fabricated a 2.45-GHz cantenna composed of two monopole antennas 8.5 cm in length and a can with a diameter of 12 cm and height of 20.5 cm. The antenna gains of the horizontal and vertical antennas were 12.2 dBi and 0.4 dBi, respectively. The difference of the two gains was suppressed within 12 dB.

To test the system's ability to transmit data, a channel model of the implemented system was created in MATLAB, along with a non-coherent receiver model, and used in a simulation to obtain the bit error rate by passing 10,000 on-off keyed symbols through it. Because the system utilizes resonant coupling, which is detrimental to the ability to communicate data due to the inherent narrowband nature of resonance, both maximum power transfer and maximum data rate cannot be achieved simultaneously. As a result, modified Miller encoding (which is used in RFID) was used in the simulation to encode the data and the data rate was slowed down to improve the bit error rate. Both simulations have shown that the WPT system has comparable performance to an additive white Gaussian noise channel given an appropriate data rate.","PeriodicalId":148719,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Wireless Power Transfer Conference (WPTC)","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127422104","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
