讲座摘要
Existing impedance matching network (IMN) design methods for megahertz (MHz) wireless power transfer (WPT) systems are usually trial-and-error-based or directly using tunable IMNs. This dissertation uses simple and passive IMNs, deriving a new explicit design methodology to calculate their parameters quickly and accurately. This methodology effectively improves the loading condition of the power amplifier (PA) and thus enhances the robustness of the overall system under varying operation conditions. Meanwhile, an explicit design of a double-sided IMN with increased degrees of design freedom (DOFs) is developed to compensate for simultaneous variations in multiple operation conditions. Furthermore, novel coil structures (quasi-elliptic coil, belt coil and coil with “decoupling ring”) targeting two representative MHz WPT applications (drone charging and dual-band operation) are designed to improve the compactness, spatial freedom and coil efficiency of the corresponding systems. The explicitly-designed IMN and the novel coils demonstrate their functionality and practicality in different experimental prototypes and application examples.
