Enhancing the efficiency is an essential target of the wireless power transfer (WPT) technology. Enabling the WPT systems requires careful control to prevent power from being transferred to unintended areas. This is essential in improving the efficiency and minimizing the flux leakage that might otherwise occur. Selective field localization can effectively reduce the flux leakage from the WPT systems. In this work, we propose a method using a digital honeycomb metamaterial structure that has a property operation as a function of switching between 0 and 1 states. These cavities were created by strongly confining the field by using a hybridization bandgap that arose from wave interaction with a two-dimensional array of local resonators on the metasurface. A WPT efficiency of 64% at 13.56 MHz was achieved by using the metamaterial and improved to 60% compared to the system without the metamaterial with an area ratio of Rx:Tx~1:28. Rx is the receiver coil, and Tx is the transmitter one.
