- the frequency generator 104 can be preferably tuned to the antenna 110 , and also selected for FCC compliance.
- This embodiment uses a multidirectional antenna as the antenna part 112 .
- 115 shows the energy as output in all directions.
- the antenna 100 is non-radiative, in the sense that much of the output of the antenna is not electromagnetic radiating energy, but is rather a magnetic field which is more stationary. Of course, part of the output from the antenna will in fact radiate.
- Another embodiment may use a radiative antenna.

- the energy can be transferred through either electrical field coupling or magnetic field coupling, although magnetic field coupling is predominantly described herein as an embodiment.
- Electrical field coupling provides an inductively loaded electrical dipole that is an open capacitor or dielectric disk. Extraneous objects may provide a relatively strong influence on electric field coupling. Magnetic field coupling may be preferred, since it extraneous objects have the same magnetic properties as “empty” space.
- the embodiment describes a magnetic field coupling using a capacitively loaded magnetic dipole.

- High Q has a corresponding disadvantage of narrow bandwidth effects. Such narrow bandwidth have typically been considered as undesirable for data communications. However, the narrow bandwidth can be used in power transfer. When a high Q is used, the transmitter signal is sufficiently pure and free of undesired frequency or phase modulation to allow transmission of most of its power over this narrow bandwidth.
- an embodiment may use a resonant frequency of 13.56 MHz and a bandwidth of around 9 kHz. This is highly usable for a substantially un-modulated fundamental frequency.

Other embodiments use lower Q components, and may allow correspondingly more modulation on the fundamental.
- An important feature may include use of a frequency which is permitted by regulation, such as FCC regulations.
- the preferred frequency in this exemplary embodiment is 13.56 MHz but other frequencies may be used as well.

Abstract
Description
- This application claims priority from provisional application No. 60/954,941, filed Aug. 9, 2007, the entire contents of which are herewith incorporated by reference.
- It is desirable to transfer electrical energy from a source to a destination without the use of wires to guide the electromagnetic fields. A difficulty of previous attempts has been low efficiency together with an inadequate amount of delivered power.
- The present application teaches a wireless electrical energy transfer, and teaches specific techniques for that energy transfer including specific antennas, and specific materials for the antennas.
- These and other aspects will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
-
FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of a magnetic wave based wireless power transmission system; -
FIG. 2 illustrates circuit diagrams of the circuits in theFIG. 1 diagram; -
FIG. 3 illustrates an exemplary near field condition plot; -
FIG. 4 illustrates a graph between Q factors that were experimentally found between different antennas; -
FIG. 5 illustrates a large one turn antenna; -
FIG. 6 illustrates a cube-shaped two turn antenna; -
FIG. 7A illustrates a very small receiver antenna; -
FIG. 8 illustrates some exemplary power transfer operations; and -
FIG. 9 illustrates a large transmit antenna with a capacitor holder including plural different standoffs. - The general structure and techniques, and more specific embodiments which can be used to effect different ways of carrying out the more general goals, are described herein.
- The present application describes transfer of energy from a power source to a power destination via electromagnetic field coupling. Embodiments describe techniques for new coupling structures, e.g., transmitting and receiving antennas.
- An embodiment is shown in which the main coupling occurs via inductive coupling, using primarily a magnetic field component. In the embodiment shown in
FIG. 1 , for example, energy is formed as a stationary magnetic wave in the area of the transmittingantenna 110. The energy that is produced is at least partly a non-radiative, stationary magnetic field. The produced field is not entirely magnetic, nor entirely stationary, however at least a portion is stationary and magnetic. Unlike a traveling electromagnetic wave, which would continue propagating into space and have its energy wasted, at least a portion of the stationary magnetic wave remains in the area of the transmitting antenna and is rendered usable by the disclosed techniques. - Other embodiments may use similar principles of the embodiments and are equally applicable to primarily electrostatic and/or electrodynamic field coupling as well. In general, an electric field can be used in place of the magnetic field, as the primary coupling mechanism.
- One aspect of the embodiment is the use of a high efficiency that comes from increasing the so-called Q factor of the coupling structures (primarily the antennas) at the self-resonant frequency used for the sinusoidal waveform of the electromagnetic field, voltage or current used. The present inventors have discovered that the efficiency and amount of power is superior for a system which uses a single, substantially un-modulated sine wave. In particular, the performance is superior to a wide-band system which attempts to capture the power contained in a wideband waveform or in a plurality of distinct sinusoidal waveforms of different frequencies. Other embodiments may use less pure waveforms, in recognition of the real-world characteristics of the materials that are used. Techniques are described herein which enable small resonant antennas with relatively high Q factors.
- The Q of a resonant device is the ratio of the resonant frequency to the so-called “three dB” or “half power” bandwidth of the resonant device. While there are several “definitions,” all are substantially equivalent to each other, to describe Q in terms of measurements or the values of resonant circuit elements.
- A basic embodiment is shown in
FIG. 1 . Apower transmitter assembly 100 receives power from a source, for example, anAC plug 102. Afrequency generator 104 is used to create a signal at a frequency (Pt) and to couple that frequency to anantenna 110, here a resonant antenna. Theantenna 110 includes ancoupling loop 111, which is inductively and non-contactively coupled to a high Qresonant antenna part 112. - The resonant antenna includes a number N of
coil loops 113 each loop having a radius RA. A capacitor 114, here shown as a variable capacitor, is in series with thecoil 113, forming a resonant loop. In the embodiment, the capacitor is a totally separate structure from the coil, but in certain embodiments, the self capacitance of the wire forming the coil can form thecapacitance 114. - The
frequency generator 104 can be preferably tuned to theantenna 110, and also selected for FCC compliance. - This embodiment uses a multidirectional antenna as the
antenna part 112. 115 shows the energy as output in all directions. Theantenna 100 is non-radiative, in the sense that much of the output of the antenna is not electromagnetic radiating energy, but is rather a magnetic field which is more stationary. Of course, part of the output from the antenna will in fact radiate. - Another embodiment may use a radiative antenna.
- A
receiver 150 includes a receiving antenna 155 placed a distance d away from the transmittingantenna 110, but not coupled thereto. The receiving antenna is similarly a high Q resonant coil antenna having a coil part andcapacitor 151, coupled to aninductive coupling loop 152. Thecapacitor 151 may be variable for tuning. As in the transmitting antenna, thecoupling loop 152 is physically separate from the main part of the antenna. The output of thecoupling loop 152 is rectified in arectifier 160, and applied to a load. That load can be any type of load, for example a resistive load such as a light bulb, or an electronic device load such as an electrical appliance, a computer, a rechargeable battery, a music player or an automobile. - The energy can be transferred through either electrical field coupling or magnetic field coupling, although magnetic field coupling is predominantly described herein as an embodiment.
- Electrical field coupling provides an inductively loaded electrical dipole that is an open capacitor or dielectric disk. Extraneous objects may provide a relatively strong influence on electric field coupling. Magnetic field coupling may be preferred, since it extraneous objects have the same magnetic properties as “empty” space.
- The embodiment describes a magnetic field coupling using a capacitively loaded magnetic dipole. Such a dipole is formed of a wire loop forming at least one loop or turn of a coil, in series with a capacitor that electrically loads the antenna into a resonant state.
-
FIG. 2 shows an equivalent circuit for the energy transfer. Thetransmit circuit 100 is a series resonant circuit with RLC portions that resonate at the frequency of thehigh frequency generator 205. The transmitter includes aseries resistance 210, andinductive coil 215, and avariable capacitance 220. This produces the magnetic field M which is shown as magnetic lines offorce 225. - The
signal generator 205 has an internal resistance that is preferably matched to the transmit resonator's resistance at resonance by the inductive loop. This allows transferring maximum power from the transmitter to the receiver antenna. - The receive
portion 150 correspondingly includes acapacitor 250,transformer coil 255,rectifier 260, andregulator 261, to provide a regulated output voltage. The output is connected to aload resistance 265.FIG. 2 shows a half wave rectifier, but it should be understood that more complex rectifier circuits can be used. The impedance of therectifier 260 andregulator 261 is matched to the resistance of the receive resonator at resonance. This enables transferring a maximum amount of power to the load. The resistances take into account skin effect/proximity effect, radiation resistance, as well as both internal and external dielectric loss. - A perfect resonant transmitter will ignore, or minimally react with, all other nearby resonant objects having a different resonant frequency. However, when a receiver that has the proper resonant frequency encounters the field of the transmitting
antenna 225, the two couple in order to establish a strong energy link. In effect, the transmitter and receiver operate to become a loosely coupled transformer. - The inventors have discovered a number of factors that improve the transfer of power from transmitter to receiver.
- Q factor of the circuits, described above, can assist with certain efficiencies. A high Q factor allows increased values of current at the resonant frequency. This enables maintaining the transmission over a relatively low wattage. In an embodiment, the transmitter Q may be 1400, while the receiver Q is around 300. For reasons set forth herein, in one embodiment, the receiver Q may be much lower than the transmitter Q, for example ¼ to ⅕ the transmitter Q. However, other Q factors may be used.
- High Q has a corresponding disadvantage of narrow bandwidth effects. Such narrow bandwidth have typically been considered as undesirable for data communications. However, the narrow bandwidth can be used in power transfer. When a high Q is used, the transmitter signal is sufficiently pure and free of undesired frequency or phase modulation to allow transmission of most of its power over this narrow bandwidth.
- For example, an embodiment may use a resonant frequency of 13.56 MHz and a bandwidth of around 9 kHz. This is highly usable for a substantially un-modulated fundamental frequency. Some modulation on the fundamental frequency may be tolerated or tolerable, however, especially if other factors are used to increase the efficiency. Other embodiments use lower Q components, and may allow correspondingly more modulation on the fundamental.
- An important feature may include use of a frequency which is permitted by regulation, such as FCC regulations. The preferred frequency in this exemplary embodiment is 13.56 MHz but other frequencies may be used as well.
- In addition, the capacitors should be able to withstand high voltages, for example as high as 4 kV, since the resistance may be small in relation to the capacitive reactance. A final important feature is the packaging: the system should be in a small form factor.
- One aspect of improving the coupling between the transmit and receive antenna is to increase the Q of the antenna. The efficiency of power transfer η may be expressed as
-
- Note that this increases as the cube of the radius of the transmitting antenna, the cube of the radius of the receiving antenna, and decreases to the sixth power of the distance. The radii of the transmit and receive antennas may be constrained by the application in which they are used. Accordingly, increasing the Q in some applications may be a preferred way of increasing the efficiency.
-
FIG. 4 illustrates a graph between Q factors that were experimentally found between different antennas. This graph shows that, for a given frequency, the Q factors increases when the resonator coil of the resonator has fewer turns. - The inventors discovered an optimum antenna that may exist with a single turn loop, provided that the loss resistance of the material, e.g., the wire or tubing, forming the loop is maintained sufficiently low.
- An embodiment illustrated in
FIG. 5 uses asingle turn antenna 500 formed of a relatively thick conductor material, driven by asmaller coil 505. Theantenna 500 is provided in series with a capacitive loading, here avacuum capacitor 502. In an embodiment, the single turn antenna is formed of copper tubing. The vacuum capacitors which have a very high Q factor and can also handle a very high voltage. Vacuum capacitors on the order of 200 pf can be used, for example. This antenna may have a low impedance, thereby enabling high current and high magnetic field. It may also provide low RF voltage and thus low electric stray field and lower susceptibility to loss from extraneous objects. - An embodiment may use a 6 mm copper tube coil resonator and a loop radius of 9 inches. Another embodiment may use a 30 mm copper tube. Preferably the copper tube is at least 1 inch in diameter, used with a vacuum capacitor that has a very high Q. A vacuum capacitor may have a Q of 1000.
- An issue with the single turn loop antenna is that it must have a relatively large diameter.
- A compromise size may be formed from a two-turn antenna, which is shown in
FIG. 6 . The two-turn antenna can have a 3 ½inch diameter coil 600.FIG. 6 illustrates a plastic housing, using a vacuum capacitor integrated directly on the antenna. Thetransmission inducement coil 610 is also mounted on the housing, connected to acable 611. - The receiver antennas can also be important.
FIG. 7 illustrates an exemplary receiver antenna including a plurality of turns ofmaterial 700 mounted on asubstrate 705. Acapacitor 710 is attached to thecoil material 700. - It was found that the substrate that is used as a base may itself be important in setting the Q.
