A Study of Loosely Coupled Coils for Wireless Power Transfer

Nonradiative wireless power transfer using magnetically coupled coils is studied in order to transfer a predetermined amount of power at the maximum efficiency. Accordingly, a conceptual wireless power transfer system and a tuning method are presented. Such a study is essential for effectively exploiting the inherent ability of a given pair of coupled coils. With the equations for inductance and resistance calculations, the system performance is evaluated and verified with well-known experimental results and circuit simulations.
