Wireless Power Transfer during Displacement Using Electromagnetic Coupling in Resonance

—Magnetic-versus Electric-Type Antennas—

Abstract

This paper proposes a novel way for achieving wireless power transfer from a transmitting antenna to a receiving antenna. This technique is suitable for charging electric vehicles (EVs) because the proposed antennas can transfer power wirelessly with high efficiencies when the antennas are displaced and have large air gaps. This technique utilizes near-field antennas at resonance; however, this technique is still being perfected. This paper describes this techniques' analysis, its results, as well as the possible antennas that are suitable for EVs.
