About this book
This book presents a system-level analysis of inductive wireless power transfer (WPT) links. The basic requirements, design parameters, and utility of key building blocks used in inductive WPT links are presented, followed by detailed theoretical analysis, design, and optimization procedure, while considering practical aspects for various application domains. Readers are provided with fundamental, yet easy to follow guidelines to help them design high-efficiency inductive links, based on a set of application-specific target specifications. The authors discuss a wide variety of recently proposed approaches to achieve the maximum efficiency point, such as the use of additional resonant coils, matching networks, modulation of the load quality factor (Q-modulation), and adjustable DC-DC converters. Additionally, the attainability of the maximum efficiency point together with output voltage regulation is addressed in a closed-loop power control mechanism. Numerous examples, including MATLAB/Octave calculation scripts and LTspice simulation files, are presented throughout the book. This enables readers to check their own results and test variations, facilitating a thorough understanding of the concepts discussed. The book concludes with real examples demonstrating the practical application of topics discussed.
