The magnetic beamforming, derived from a radio-frequency (RF) beamforming of the communication field, is the technology to overcome its disadvantage. The WPT with the magnetic beamforming controls the magnetic fields induced from the multiple transmitters, which results in transferring much power to the receiver. Furthermore, the magnetic beamforming can be applied to the WPT employing the multiple receivers, which implies that it is possible to efficiently charge multiple devices simultaneously. However, since the magnetic beamforming requires the transmitter array configured as the multiple transmitters, magnetic couplings between the multiple transmitters inevitably occur. The main objective of this paper is analyzing adverse influences of the magnetic couplings in the transmitters to the multiple-inputs and multiple-outputs (MIMO) WPT with the magnetic beamforming.

In postregulated systems, the maximum efficiency point (MEP) of the link can be tracked by adjusting the transmitter voltage amplitude in closed-loop. In this paper, we analyze how the series and parallel receiver compensation affect differently the closed-loop control of the MEP tracking. The theoretical analysis proves that the MEP cannot be achieved with a series compensation but it can be attained with a parallel compensation. Additionally, the theoretical analysis predicts how any more complex resonant structure affects the attainability of the MEP. Finally, the analysis is validated by simulations and measurements. The proof-of-concept system postregulates the output voltage at 5 V and achieves the MEP of 40% in measurements while delivering 50 mW to the load, working at 13.56 MHz with 1-cm-air-gap and a 25mmx25mm receiver.","PeriodicalId":148719,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Wireless Power Transfer Conference (WPTC)","volume":"58 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":"133974914","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}
