In order to reach the maximum efficiency when the receiving inductor is located at the end of the metamaterial line, the system can be designed and matched simply through the magnetoinductive wave (MIW) theory. The efficiency of this type of systems is analyzed and measured through a 5W prototype built in laboratory, using an inverter. The goal of this paper is to study the effects of changing the termination impedance in the last cell of the metamaterial and improve the system performance for a resonant frequency in the order of hundred kHz.","PeriodicalId":194427,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Wireless Power Transfer Conference (WPTC)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116896560","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}

Since RF harvesting FSS structures have been demonstrated recently, we expect to be able to realize RF harvesting EBG ground planes too.

First, the performance of a conventional transmitter coil array consisting of one transmitting resonator and multiple repeaters without frequency tracking is investigated. Then the performance of the proposed PSC resonator array with novel feed strategy is demonstrated. The results show the proposed MCR-WPT array system is able to provide consistent transfer efficiency when the receiver is axially misaligned with the transmitter.

The frequency conversion is performed by a single Schottky diode frequency doubler, which shows a theoretical conversion loss of 13 dB at the output frequency of 2.4 GHz for an available input power of only -10 dBm.

This paper investigates two methods to reduce the effect of coil misalignment in inductive WPT in e-textile applications: a single large transmitter coil and a switched transmitter coil array. Transmission efficiency and maximum received power are determined for both methods, and compared against the baseline system that uses a single small transmitter coil. All coils used in this study were fabricated using automated stitching of PTFE insulated flexible wire onto a polyester/cotton textile. This fabrication method allows coils to be sewn directly to existing garments.","PeriodicalId":194427,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Wireless Power Transfer Conference (WPTC)","volume":"183 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133872369","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}
