In this paper, a novel multi-coil WPT system is proposed to enhance power transfer efficiency. It can overcome the misalignment problem and maintain high power transfer efficiency. The proposed coil loop structure can provide a strong magnetic resonance coupling between the Tx and Rx coils. There are four induvial resonators applied in the system and it demonstrates that at least a pair of coupled resonators in several misaligned conditions could realize high power transfer efficiency over a misaligned distance. The experimental results show that the proposed multi-loop WPT system can achieve 90.2% peak efficiency when the coils are well aligned. Mean-while, this WPT system maintains over 70% efficiency over a misalignment distance from 0 to 55 mm, which is about 66% of the length of the Rx board. The proposed WPT system could be used either in implant devices for biomedical healthcare and treatment or for electric vehicles charging systems.","PeriodicalId":163165,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE MTT-S International Wireless Symposium (IWS)","volume":"108 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123378463","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}

To demonstrate the power scaling and gain a better insight into the design, the single Doherty module has been fabricated and characterized as well. The Doherty output matching is designed for maximizing the bandwidth and minimizing the components count, with the output capacitance of the active devices determining the impedance inverter impedance. The combined Doherty shows an output power of 35 dBm at 24 GHz, that is almost exactly 3 dB larger than the single Doherty module power module, and with a 6 dB OBO efficiency of 27%, and a gain of 11.5dB.
