Abstract
SummaryIn this paper, an efficient wireless power transmission (WPT) system that incorporates a new negative permeability metamaterial is presented. The operating principle of the metamaterial with negative permeability is first analyzed. To improve transmission efficiency of the WPT system at the operating frequency of 13.56 MHz, a new metamaterial with three open rings is designed. By respectively placing a single metamaterial slab and double metamaterial slabs at different positions between transmitting coil and receiving coil, the performance of the proposed WPT system is evaluated by simulation work. The corresponding magnetic field distribution is also analyzed. Besides, comparison is made with the conventional WPT system without metamaterial. It is found that transmission efficiency of the proposed WPT system is obviously improved when incorporating the metamaterial since the designed metamaterial effectively focuses magnetic field towards the receiving coil. Comparing with the conventional system, the results also show that the proposed WPT system is more robust to lateral and angular misalignment of the receiving coil. With the designed metamaterial, it is found that the proposed system with double metamaterial slabs performs better than that with a single metamaterial slab.
