WIRELESS POWER AND DATA TRANSFER USING INDUCTIVELY RESONANT COILS by Seth C. Raymond A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for a Degree with Honors (Electrical Engineering) The Honors College University of Maine May 2016 Advisory Committee: Nuri Emanetoglu, Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Advisor Andrew Sheaff, Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering Donald Hummels, Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering Elizabeth Payne, Professor of English Melissa Ladenheim, Associate Dean, Honors Abstract In electronics, resonance occurs when the admittances of circuit components, the imaginary parts of the component impedances, cancel each other out. Operation of circuits at their resonant fre- quencies can cause oscillation of signals at extreme levels. Nikola Tesla developed the concept of harnessing the capabilities of resonance by transmitting energy wirelessly between two inductively resonant coils. In 1897, his newly patented design, known as the Tesla coil, was an early prototype used to realize his theory. However, only in relatively recent history has the idea been expanded upon and used for commercial applications. Medical devices, such as pacemakers, are powered through resonant inductive coupling; this form of wireless technology has been in use since the 1960s. Battery-operated toothbrushes are typically charged with one or more small coils in the toothbrush and in the cradle, with power transmitted from the cradle to the toothbrush wirelessly. Newer emerging technology, such as radio-frequency identification (RFID) and near field commu- nication (NFC) has provided end-users with relatively simple products for proximity dependent interaction with their personal devices, such as smartphones. This paper describes the theory and limitations of this emerging technology through the design and construction of a wireless NiCd bat- tery charger, as well as through an investigation of some of the more common protocols for wireless data transmission.

Due to the advances in this technology, increased consumer use has been seen in the last decade. One of the more prominent industries that is taking advantage of this form of wireless technology is the smartphone industry. Increasing numbers of smart- phones and wearable technology devices are integrating wireless battery charging as well as near field communication (NFC) technology. NFC is typically used to automate simple tasks, such as turning off a phone ringer, by programming what is known as a “tag.” The tag is then placed on a surface where the user will tap the phone. Once in proximity, the phone executes the programmed command. Monetary transactions can also be performed between supported devices. The intent of the addition of wireless charging and wireless data transfer is to create an easier, more intuitive user experience. The technology does, however, have its own set of limitations and restrictions. This report investigates the me- chanics of wireless power transmission and gives an elementary design of a wireless NiCd battery charging system. Research on NFC uses and limitations is also presented. Section 2 describes the electromagnetic workings of wireless transmission. Section 3 presents the design, construction, and results of a wireless battery charging system. Sec- tion 4 summarizes research on wireless data transmission used in an increasing number of smartphones. Section 5 concludes the report. 2 Mechanics of Wireless Transmission Passive circuit components include resistors, capacitors, and inductors. Each of these com- ponents have an impedance associated with them, meaning they oppose the flow of current when a voltage is applied across the terminals of the component. Impedance can be broken up into real and imaginary parts. Ideally, resistors have purely real impedances, whereas capacitors and inductors have purely imaginary impedances. The impedances of capaci- tors and inductors are frequency dependent. Frequency is represented as ! in this section. Equation 1 below describes the impedance ZL of an inductor with inductance L. ZL = j!L (1) Note that the impedance of an inductor will increase with frequency. This can be contrasted with the impedance of a capacitor. The impedance ZC of a capacitor with capacitance C is given in Equation 2. Again, the impedance of this component is frequency dependent. 1 −j Z = = (2) C j!C !C Note that with capacitors, the impedance now decreases with higher frequencies. Recalling that the resonant frequency of a circuit is the frequency at which the imaginary parts of the circuit impedance is equal to zero, it can be seen that combining capacitors and inductors 1 in some combination will result in a resonant frequency, !0, based on the inductance and capacitance of the components. A particular resonant frequency, or a tuned resonant fre- quency, can be achieved by picking inductance and capacitance values for a given circuit topology. An important note is that Equations 1 and 2 assume ideal components. Real world com- ponents are not ideal and include what are known as parasitic resistances, capacitances, and inductances, which will alter the given equations slightly and give rise to an error in the actual resonant frequency of the circuit. Component leads give rise to parasitic induc- tances. Leads and wires, such as those making up the inductive coil, produce parasitic capacitances. Finally, all wires are inherently resistive, which produces some losses. These parasitics should also be taken into account when designing resonant circuitry. With an understanding of the concept of resonance, the physical properties of inductors can now be described. Inductors inherently oppose a change in current and do so by generating a magnetic field. This field is how the inductor stores energy. In this text, vectors are represented in bold-face. The magnetic field, B, at a distance r away from a straight wire with current I flowing through it is described in Equation 3. The permeability of free space, −7 −2 µ0, is constant and is taken as 4π × 10 [NA ]. µ I B = 0 (3) 2πr An inductor can be described as a wire wound about an axis. The magnetic field produced by the inductor is now focused in the direction of the axis about which the wire is wrapped. The magnetic field produced by an inductor with N turns and length ` is given in Equation 4. µ IN B = 0 (4) ` Again, inductors can be used to store energy in a circuit. When the current through an inductor increases or decreases, the magnetic field produced by the inductor will either expand or collapse respectively. This change in magnetic field ideally keeps the number of electrons flowing through the inductor constant by either extracting energy from the inductor or returning energy to it. The change in current also results in a change in voltage across the inductor. Through electromotive self-induction, the change in strength of a magnetic field produced by an inductor gives rise to a corresponding voltage across the inductor. This electromotive force (EMF) has a polarity that opposes the change of current. The EMF across an inductor with dI inductance L and time-changing current dt is defined in Equation 5. dI " = L (5) dt With the knowledge of how energy is stored in an inductor, a related parameter can now be described. The magnetic flux is defined as the amount of magnetic field passing through a 2 given area. Magnetic flux, Φ, is mathematically defined in Equation 6. Φ = B · A = jBjjAjcos(θ) (6) It should be noted that the vector area of the surface A has a magnitude equal to the surface area of the object and points normal to the surface. The value of θ is defined as the angle between B and A.

BS073, 20-262 Lublin, Poland * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: A new 1.575 GHz active balun with a classic double-balanced Gilbert mixer for global navigation satellite systems is proposed herein. A simple, low-noise amplifier architecture is used with a center-tapped inductor to generate a differential signal equal in amplitude and shifted in phase by 180◦. The main advantage of the proposed circuit is that the phase shift between the outputs is always equal to 180◦, with an accuracy of ±5◦, and the gain difference between the balun outputs does not change by more than 1.5 dB. This phase shift and gain difference between the outputs are also preserved for all process corners, as well as temperature and voltage supply variations. In the balun design, a band calibration system based on a switchable capacitor bank is proposed. The balun and mixer were designed with a 110 nm CMOS process, consuming only a 2.24 mA current from a 1.5 V supply. The measured noise figure and conversion gain of the balun and mixer were, respectively, NF = 7.7 dB and GC = 25.8 dB in the band of interest.

  • The Study of Electromagnetic Processes in the Experiments of Tesla
    The study of electromagnetic processes in the experiments of Tesla B. Sacco1, A.K. Tomilin 2, 1 RAI, Center for Research and Technological Innovation (Turin, Italy), [email protected] 2National Research Tomsk Polytechnic University (Tomsk, Russian Federation), [email protected] The Tesla wireless transmission of energy original experiment, proposed again in a downsized scale by K. Meyl, has been replicated in order to test the hypothesis of the existence of electroscalar (longitudinal) waves. Additional experiments have been performed, in which we have investigated the features of the electromagnetic processes between the two spherical antennas. In particular, the origin of coils resonances has been measured and analyzed. Resonant frequencies calculated on the basis of the generalized electrodynamic theory, are in good agreement with the experimental values found. Keywords: Tesla transformer, K. Meyl experiments, electroscalar waves, generalized electrodynamics, coil resonant frequency. 1. Introduction In the early twentieth century, Tesla conducted experiments in which he demonstrated unusual properties of electromagnetic waves. Results of experiments have been published in the newspapers, and many devices were patented (e.g. [1]). However, such work has not received suitable theoretical explanation, and so far no practical application of the results have been developed. One hundred years later, Professor K. Meyl [2] aimed to reproduce the same experiments using a miniature, laboratory version of the Tesla setup, arguing that it can help to detect unusual phenomena that are explained by the presence of electroscalar (longitudinal) waves, namely: • the reaction on the transmitter of the presence of the receiver; • the transmission of scalar waves with a speed of 1,5 times the speed of light; • the inefficiency of a Faraday cage in shielding scalar waves, and • the possibility of wireless transmission of electrical energy.

Box 15500, FI-00076 Aalto, Finland 4Photonics Initiative, Advanced Science Research Center, City University of New York, NY 10031, USA *e-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract The rapid development of chargeable devices has caused a great deal of interest in efficient and stable wireless power transfer (WPT) solutions. Most conventional WPT technologies exploit outdated electromagnetic field control methods proposed in the 20th century, wherein some essential parameters are sacrificed in favour of the other ones (efficiency vs. stability), making available WPT systems far from the optimal ones. Over the last few years, the development of novel approaches to electromagnetic field manipulation has enabled many up-and-coming technologies holding great promises for advanced WPT. Examples include coherent perfect absorption, exceptional points in non-Hermitian systems, non-radiating states and anapoles, advanced artificial materials and metastructures. This work overviews the recent achievements in novel physical effects and materials for advanced WPT. We provide a consistent analysis of existing technologies, their pros and cons, and attempt to envision possible perspectives. 1 Wireless power transfer (WPT), i.e., the transmission of electromagnetic energy without physical connectors such as wires or waveguides, is a rapidly developing technology increasingly being introduced into modern life, motivated by the exponential growth in demand for fast and efficient wireless charging of battery-powered devices.

This paper proposes a novel double-loop coil design for wirelessly charging embedded sensors. Theoretical and finite-element analyses show that the proposed coil has good transmission performance. In addition, the power transmission capability of the double-loop coil can be improved by reducing the radius difference and width difference of the transmitter and receiver. It has been demonstrated by analysis and practical experiments that a magnetic resonant coupled WPT system using the double-loop coil can provide a stable and efficient power transmission to embedded sensors. Key words: Embedded sensors, Magnetic resonant coupled, Spindle, WPT I. INTRODUCTION inductive coupled WPT systems is greatly affected by the angular and axial misalignments between the transmitter and Almost all modern electromechanical systems are driven by receiver. In addition, its transmission distance is limited to a few spindles. Thus, it is necessary to monitor the running status of centimeters [6]-[10].

  • Wireless Power Transmission
    International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research, Volume 5, Issue 10, October-2014 125 ISSN 2229-5518 Wireless Power Transmission Mystica Augustine Michael Duke Final year student, Mechanical Engineering, CEG, Anna university, Chennai, Tamilnadu, India [email protected] ABSTRACT- The technology for wireless power transfer (WPT) is a varied and a complex process. The demand for electricity is much higher than the amount being produced. Generally, the power generated is transmitted through wires. To reduce transmission and distribution losses, researchers have drifted towards wireless energy transmission. The present paper discusses about the history, evolution, types, research and advantages of wireless power transmission. There are separate methods proposed for shorter and longer distance power transmission; Inductive coupling, Resonant inductive coupling and air ionization for short distances; Microwave and Laser transmission for longer distances. The pioneer of the field, Tesla attempted to create a powerful, wireless electric transmitter more than a century ago which has now seen an exponential growth. This paper as a whole illuminates all the efficient methods proposed for transmitting power without wires. —————————— —————————— INTRODUCTION Wireless power transfer involves the transmission of power from a power source to an electrical load without connectors, across an air gap. The basis of a wireless power system involves essentially two coils – a transmitter and receiver coil. The transmitter coil is energized by alternating current to generate a magnetic field, which in turn induces a current in the receiver coil (Ref 1). The basics of wireless power transfer involves the inductive transmission of energy from a transmitter to a receiver via an oscillating magnetic field.

  • The Self-Resonance and Self-Capacitance of Solenoid Coils: Applicable Theory, Models and Calculation Methods
    1 The self-resonance and self-capacitance of solenoid coils: applicable theory, models and calculation methods. By David W Knight1 Version2 1.00, 4th May 2016. DOI: 10.13140/RG.2.1.1472.0887 Abstract The data on which Medhurst's semi-empirical self-capacitance formula is based are re-analysed in a way that takes the permittivity of the coil-former into account. The updated formula is compared with theories attributing self-capacitance to the capacitance between adjacent turns, and also with transmission-line theories. The inter-turn capacitance approach is found to have no predictive power. Transmission-line behaviour is corroborated by measurements using an induction loop and a receiving antenna, and by visualising the electric field using a gas discharge tube. In-circuit solenoid self-capacitance determinations show long-coil asymptotic behaviour corresponding to a wave propagating along the helical conductor with a phase-velocity governed by the local refractive index (i.e., v = c if the medium is air). This is consistent with measurements of transformer phase error vs. frequency, which indicate a constant time delay. These observations are at odds with the fact that a long solenoid in free space will exhibit helical propagation with a frequency-dependent phase velocity > c. The implication is that unmodified helical-waveguide theories are not appropriate for the prediction of self-capacitance, but they remain applicable in principle to open- circuit systems, such as Tesla coils, helical resonators and loaded vertical antennas, despite poor agreement with actual measurements. A semi-empirical method is given for predicting the first self- resonance frequencies of free coils by treating the coil as a helical transmission-line terminated by its own axial-field and fringe-field capacitances.

At present, most the WSNs are battery powered, but batteries must be changed frequently in this method. If the changes are not on time, the energy of sensors will be insufficient, leading to node faults or even networks interruptions. In order to solve the problem of poor power supply reliability in WSNs, a novel power supply method, the single-wire power transfer method, is utilized in this paper. This method uses only one wire to connect source and load. According to the characteristics of WSNs, a single-wire power transfer system for WSNs was designed. The characteristics of directivity and multi-loads were analyzed by simulations and experiments to verify the feasibility of this method. The results show that the total efficiency of the multi-load system can reach more than 70% and there is no directivity. Additionally, the efficiencies are higher than wireless power transfer (WPT) systems under the same conductions.
