Wireless Power Transfer System Based on Strapping Resonators

Abstract

In this study, a kind of strapped resonator is proposed to deal with high power wireless power transfer (WPT) in microwave regimes. In many specific applications, such as high power microwave wireless power transfer system (WPT), a coil resonator is not suitable due to the frequency limitations. The high cost of the high-permittivity dielectric resonators also limits their application. As a high Q resonator, the strapped resonator is often used in the anode structure of a magnetron. The field distribution of π and π + 1 modes allow the system to operate in dual-frequency mode. Numerical simulation and experimental validation show that with a certain distance, the system provides power transfer efficiency of more than 80% and 70% at 630 MHz and 970 MHz, respectively. Compared to the system based on dielectric resonators, the proposed system has higher power capacity. The leakage and radiation loss of the system is also discussed using numerical methods.
