Abstract

In this letter, we design a magnetically coupled resonant wireless power transfer (MCR-WPT) system on the conformal cylindrical surface based on the flexible printed circuit (FPC) coils. The coil has the advantages of small size, lightweight, and high bendability. We combine mathematics and simulations to explore the relationship between the self-inductance/mutual inductance of the flexible coil and the bending radius of the conformal cylindrical surface. Both theoretical and simulation results show that as the bending radius decreases linearly, the self-inductance and mutual inductance of the coil also decrease nonlinearly. In addition, as the bending radius decreases, the transmission efficiency (TE) decreases, and the resonant frequency shifts to a higher range. Finally, measured and simulated results agree well, which further validates the conclusions.
