Uniform magnetic field distribution of a spatially structured resonant coil for wireless power transfer

Abstract

A spatially structured resonant coil with uniform magnetic field distribution for wireless power transfer is presented. The characteristics of the proposed resonant coil are verified by the theoretical analysis, simulation results, and experimental measurements. Due to the uniform magnetic field distribution, the overall transfer efficiency between the transmitting and receiving resonant coils can be improved up to 44% compared to the conventional coil regardless of the location of the receiving coil at the transfer distance.
