Efficient Wireless Power Transfer Topology for Phone Charging Application

Abstract

Abstract: Wireless power transfer scheme used on phone chargers are expected to have high efficiency, and reliability. However, existing AC-DC converter schemes were shown to be susceptible to leakage inductance and have lower regulation or excessive power losses. Output voltage regulation is a concern for wireless power converter topologies due to the need for additional shunt devices at DC output. In this paper, literature survey on various wireless power transfer scheme is performed with specific focus on phone charging applications. A modified topology using impedance matching transformer is presented with circuit analysis and LT spice simulation results. It is shown that the proposed topology can deliver better output voltage regulation at various coupling coefficients indicating a superior circuit performance for various separation distances between transmitting and receiving coil.
