The main coupling unit of the proposed system consists of a transmitter with 5 self-resonators and a receiver with a self-resonator. By circuit analysis, the proposed system is analyzed. The fabricated coils are compact planar rectangular spiral types. The total size of the transmitter is 96 cm × 16 cm. The receiver is 10 cm × 10 cm. With the exception of the 5th resonator in the transmitter, their resonant frequencies are 6.78 MHz. There are some regions with less than 50% power transfer efficiency (called a dead zone). By changing the 5th resonator's frequency, the area of the dead zone can be reduced. When the 5th resonator's resonant frequency f5 is 6.78 MHz, a system has 40% dead zone of the transmitter and power transfer efficiencies of 57% ~ 87% in the other regions. On the other hand, when f5 is 6.38 MHz, a system has 10% dead zone and power transfer efficiencies of 70% ~ 86% in other regions. The measured power transfer efficiencies are approximately consistent with the calculated results.","PeriodicalId":6308,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Workshop Series on Innovative Wireless Power Transmission: Technologies, Systems, and Applications","volume":"30 1","pages":"127-130"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87454053","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 energy form of electricity is absolutely different from gasoline. We may not need to take the same style of gasoline vehicle. Future EVs will be linked to the electric power system infrastructure; the vehicles will operate through frequent electric charging, as is the case with electric trains. Wireless power transfer based on magnetic resonance will be an extremely important technique to receive energy from the infrastructure. In a laboratory experiment, this technique enabled approximately 1kW power transfer with more than 90% efficiency at a distance of 1 m. It opens a new way to the novel EV world. Supercapacitors, rather than batteries, will play an important role in the future for charging of EVs. Supercapacitors have a long operating life (a few million times charge/ discharge life), large current density, and environmentally friendly composition. Further, their energy level can be estimated from the terminal voltage. Our EVs powered by supercapacitors can operate for more than 20 min after being charged for only 30 s. Electric motors have three major advantages: motor torque generation is quick and accurate, a motor can be attached to each wheel, and motor torque can be estimated precisely. These advantages enable the realization of high performance antilock braking and traction control systems, control of two-dimensional chassis motion, and estimation of road surface condition. Such motion control techniques improve energy efficiency and safety of future EVs. In summary, we can achieve a large-scale development of future vehicles that employ three techniques: Electric Motors, Supercapacitors, and Wireless Power Transfer. This eliminates the requirement for engines, high performance Li-ion batteries, and quick charging stations.","PeriodicalId":6308,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Workshop Series on Innovative Wireless Power Transmission: Technologies, Systems, and Applications","volume":"63 1","pages":"3-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73706120","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 wireless power transmission capability in the driver is crucial for its performances, especially, regarding a switching speed and power consumption. This paper presents the potential of GaN/Sapphire direct gate driver using 5.8GHz wireless power transmission with a compact butterfly-shaped EMRC.

In the present work, a loop is employed to excite the resonance coil, and a set of variable capacitors are added to the loop on the power transmission side to adjust the matching. For the test against a small object, a small aluminum plate was put close to the transmission coil, and the input impedance of the coil on the transmission side was adjusted by the variable capacitors.
