Class E2 resonant non-radiative Wireless Power Transfer link: A design-oriented joint circuit-system co-characterization approach

Resonant Inductive Coupling Wireless Power Transfer is a key technology to provide an efficient and harmless wireless energy channel to consumer electronics, biomedical implants and wireless sensor networks. Many applications have been proposed for this technology, but the interplay between the Resonant Inductive Coupling magnetic link and the power electronics front-end is still unclear. In this paper, we propose a design-oriented joint circuit-system approach to design a high-efficiency resonant inductive coupling wireless power transfer link embedded in a class E2 DC-DC converter.
