We measured S-parameter of the feeding subsystem. As results, S11 is -0.06 dB and S21 is -30.3 dB. With the S-parameter, we built an equivalent circuit model of the feeding subsystem at a wide frequency range in VHF band.

The conversion efficiency of a rectifier usually changes as the input power level changes, mainly due to the diode efficiency loss associated with built-in voltage or breakdown effect. Therefore, the conversion efficiency can achieve an optimal value only at a specific input power level, and decreases when the input power deviates from this value. The proposed microwave rectifier can automatically tune the load to the optimal value at each input power to maintain a high conversion efficiency within a wide range of input power. An automatic control circuit uses a micro controller unit (MCU) to select various load resistors. By sensing the rectified DC voltage and the current load resistance, the MCU can automatically tune the load to the desired value based on a pre-loaded lookup table. When the input power changes from 5 to 70 mW, the rectifier can achieve optimal conversion efficiencies over 62.5% through automatic tuning the load from 800 to 250 Ω.","PeriodicalId":6308,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Workshop Series on Innovative Wireless Power Transmission: Technologies, Systems, and Applications","volume":"51 1","pages":"171-174"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83515752","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}

We lowered a self-resonant frequency until 500KHz by using a toroidal ferrite core and measured transmission parameter by a vector network analyzer.

In this report, both a transmitter and a receiver are composed of a resonant coil and a loop element. In another report, only a loop element is employed for a receiver, and the configuration of the receiver is simplified. If there is a mutual coupling between the resonant coil and a surrounding object, a resonant frequency of the resonant coil is shifted. In particular, when a material of the surrounding object is a metal, the resonant frequency of the resonant coil is shifted significantly. When a frequency of the transmitter is restricted in narrowband, the transfer efficiency of the system becomes small. For example, when the transmitter of a wireless power transfer system for a mobile terminal is put on a steel desk, the transfer efficiency of the system becomes small. In this paper, a wireless power transfer system is proposed to minimize the influence of the desk. A transmitter of the proposed system is put on the desk. A receiver of the proposed system is put on the transmitter. Exploiting its thinness, a receiver of the proposed system is installed in a mobile terminal.
