Abstract
This letter introduces two concentric open-loop
spiral resonators (OLSRs) that are used to improve magnetic
field for nonradiative wireless power transfer (WPT) systems.
OLSRs are fed through metal–insulator–metal (MIM) capacitive
coupling using a 50- microstrip transmission line. First, a single
OLSR is designed and implemented for WPT, then two OLSRs
are used instead of a single OLSR to emphasize the surface
current on the spiral resonators. Therefore, it helps to intensify
the electromagnetic field in order to get a high transmission
distance or higher efficiency. The proposed WPT system operates
at 438.5 MHz with a measured power transfer efficiency (PTE)
of 70.8% at a transmission distance of 31 mm and a design area
of 576 mm2. An equivalent circuit of the proposed WPT system is
presented as a heuristic approach to show the electrical behavior
of the WPT system.
