These signals are characterized to have a high PAPR that allows to excite rectifier diodes more efficiently in low power environments, extending the reading range of a RFID tag with same average radiated power, for example. With this paper we propose a new kind of multisines, a harmonic spaced multisine that achieves unique and interesting time domain properties. Both analytic and experimental results are performed to show the superiority of this signal.","PeriodicalId":194427,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Wireless Power Transfer Conference (WPTC)","volume":"38 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":"131841481","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}

MPT mainly consists of a transmitting antenna and a receiving antenna, and we focus on the receiving antenna. Non-leak energy system requires the receiving antenna to receive all the energy which reaches the antenna surface. It is known that the receiving efficiency of an infinite dipole array antenna with reflector becomes 100% analytically under the matching condition by the induced electromotive force (EMF) method. In this paper, the matching condition is discussed by using finite difference time domain (FDTD) method simulation. The radiation impedance is analyzed to satisfy the matching condition. In case that the load impedance is complex conjugate of the radiation impedance, the receiving efficiency reaches 99.9%. In addition, the reflection of the transient state is discussed.","PeriodicalId":194427,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Wireless Power Transfer Conference (WPTC)","volume":"51 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":"127069568","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}

In this paper, 0.5mm-thick ferrite material is appropriately shaped and disposed above a power transmitting unit (PTU) resonator. As an example, a three-turn coil incorporating the ferrite is analyzed and measured. Simulation and measurement show that peak of magnetic field is significantly reduced by 55% while maintaining almost same average magnetic field strength on the wireless charging surface, compared to the same coil without ferrite. The benefit of having uniform magnetic field is also demonstrated by measuring the induced voltage on a receiver where the ratio between minimum and maximum voltage is within 1:2. This indicates that a power receiving unit (PRU) receives more uniform power delivery regardless of position on a charging area. The distance from the charging coil to the charging surface is as low as 2mm from the PTU resonator.","PeriodicalId":194427,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Wireless Power Transfer Conference (WPTC)","volume":"96 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":"116074195","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}

The tracking load is designed to maximize RF to DC conversion efficiency as the RF input power to the rectifier changes. The circuit consists of two DC to DC converters with two control loops. The duty cycle of the first stage converter is adjusted by an analog control loop to have an input impedance that is optimum for maximizing the power efficiency of the RF rectifier. A second stage converter, either a classical boost or buck converter, converts the fluctuating voltage from the first stage to a regulated output voltage. The application of the tracking load is illustrated with experimental results for a CMOS class D rectifier and a 10 W class F GaN RF rectifier.","PeriodicalId":194427,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Wireless Power Transfer Conference (WPTC)","volume":"1 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":"116250462","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}
