Abstract:

In this paper, a wireless power transfer system (WPT) with magnetically coupled resonators is studied. The idea to use a reflector to enhance the coupling coefficient and the transfer efficiency is proposed and analyzed. Perfect magnetic conductor (PMC) was used in numerical calculations in order to study the performance of a reflector. In the WPT system we studied, efficiency is increased from 48% without reflector to 72% with PMC reflector. With recently developed metamaterial technologies, artificial PMCs can be designed and fabricated for such reflectors.
