Abstract
In order to improve the efficiency of wireless power transfer (WPT) system, the spatial fields are regulated on a two-non-resonant-coil WPT system by hexagon artificial magnetic conductors (AMC). In our configuration, the AMC is located by the side of the two-non-resonant-coil WPT system and close to the transmitter coil. The AMC structure consists of small hexagon copper patches periodically arranged on the dielectric substrate. Each patch is grounded by a via passing through its center hole. Chip capacitors are soldered in the gaps between the adjacent patches. We can design the working frequency of WPT system through the capacitance of these chip capacitors. The results show that the electromagnetic fields are changed between the transmitter coil and the receiver coil in WPT system due to the introducing of the AMC structure. There are two main reasons. First, many resonant modes are excited by near magnetic fields on the AMC structure. Second, near magnetic fields are shielded by the AMC structure. The variation of space electromagnetic field improves the transmission efficiency of WPT system. When the working frequency is 27 MHz and the transmission distance is 3 cm, the experiment verifies that the transmission efficiency increases by 22% in the WPT system with the AMC structure compared with the WPT system without the AMC structure. Simultaneously, the transmission efficiency is raised by 25% at different transmission distances. The simulation results are almost consistent with the experimental results. There is a little difference that the number of resonant modes is different between the simulation and the experiment due to the resistance loss of the chip capacitors in experiment. Therefore, we correct the simulation results under consideration of resistive loss. In addition, the excited multiple resonant modes can supply multiple and adjustable working frequencies in the WPT system with the AMC structure. In practical applications, AMC is low in cost and easy to implement.
