`delivered power.
`

`energy transfer, and teaches specific techniques for that
`energy transfer including specific antennas, and specific
`materials for the antennas.

`
`DETAILED DESCRIPTION
`
`[0014] The general structure and techniques, and more spe-
`cific embodiments which can be used to effect different ways
`of carrying out the more general goals, are described herein.
`[0015] The present application describes transfer of energy
`from a power source to a power destination via electromag-
`netic field coupling. Embodiments describe techniques for
`new coupling structures, e.g.,
`transmitting and receiving
`antennas.
`
`[0016] An embodiment is shown in which the main cou-
`pling occurs via inductive coupling, using primarily a mag-
`netic field component. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1,
`for example, energy is formed as a stationary magnetic wave
`in the area of the transmitting antenna 110. The energy that is
`produced is at least partly a non-radiative, stationary mag-
`netic 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 ofthe transmitting antenna and is rendered
`usable by the disclosed techniques.
`
`[0017] Other embodiments may use similar principles of
`the embodiments and are equally applicable to primarily elec-
`trostatic and/or electrodynamic field coupling as well. In gen-
`eral, an electric field can be used in place of the magnetic
`field, as the primary coupling mechanism.
`[0018] 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, substan-
`tially 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 recog-
`nition 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.
`[0019] The Q of a resonant device is the ratio of the reso-
`nant 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 ofmeasurements or the values ofresonant
`circuit elements.
`
`[0020] A basic embodiment is shown in FIG. 1. A power
`transmitter assembly 100 receives power from a source, for
`example, anAC plug 102. A frequency generator 104 is used
`to create a signal at a frequency (Pt) and to couple that fre-
`quency to an antenna 110, here a resonant antenna. The
`antenna 110 includes an coupling loop 111, which is induc-
`tively and non-contactively coupled to a high Q resonant
`antenna part 112.
`[0021] 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 the coil 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 the capacitance 114.
`[0022] The frequency generator 104 can be preferably
`tuned to the antenna 110, and also selected for FCC compli-
`ance.
`
`[0023] 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.
`
`[0024]
`Another embodiment may use a radiative antenna.
`[0025] A receiver 150 includes a receiving antenna 155
`placed a distance d away from the transmitting antenna 110,
`but not coupled thereto. The receiving antenna is similarly a
`high Q resonant coil antenna having a coil part and capacitor
`151, coupled to an inductive coupling loop 152. The capacitor
`151 may be variable for tuning. As in the transmitting
`antenna, the coupling loop 152 is physically separate from the
`main part of the antenna. The output ofthe coupling loop 152
`is rectified in a rectifier 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.
`
`[0026] The energy can be transferred through either elec-
`trical field coupling or magnetic field coupling, although
`magnetic field coupling is predominantly described herein as
`an embodiment.
`
`[0027] 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.
`[0028] The embodiment describes a magnetic field cou-
`pling 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
`[0029]
`transfer. The transmit circuit 100 is a series resonant circuit
`
`with RLC portions that resonate at the frequency of the high
`frequency generator 205. The transmitter includes a series
`resistance 210, and inductive coil 215, and a variable capaci-
`tance 220. This produces the magnetic field M which is shown
`as magnetic lines of force 225.
`[0030] The signal generator 205 has an internal resistance
`that is preferably matched to the transmit resonator’s resis-
`tance at resonance by the inductive loop. This allows trans-
`ferring maximum power from the transmitter to the receiver
`antenna.
`
`[0031] The receive portion 150 correspondingly includes a
`capacitor 250, transformer coil 255, rectifier 260, and regu-
`lator 261, to provide a regulated output voltage. The output is
`connected to a load resistance 265. FIG. 2 shows a half wave
`
`rectifier, but it should be understood that more complex rec-
`tifier circuits can be used. The impedance of the rectifier 260
`and regulator 261 is matched to the resistance of the receive
`resonator at resonance. This enables transferring a maximum
`amount ofpower to the load. The resistances take into account
`skin effect/proximity effect, radiation resistance, as well as
`both internal and external dielectric loss.
`
`[0032] A perfect resonant transmitter will ignore, or mini-
`mally 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.
`[0033] The inventors have discovered a number of factors
`that
`improve the transfer of power from transmitter to
`receiver.
`
`[0034] Q factor of the circuits, described above, can assist
`with certain efiiciencies. 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 1A to 1/s the transmitter Q. How-
`ever, other Q factors may be used.
`[0035] High Q has a corresponding disadvantage ofnarrow
`bandwidth effects. Such narrow bandwidth have typically
`been considered as undesirable for data communications.
`
`However, the narrow bandwidth can be used in power trans-
`
`fer. When a high Q is used, the transmitter signal is sufii-
`ciently pure and free of undesired frequency or phase modu-
`lation to allow transmission of most of its power over this
`narrow bandwidth.
`
`For example, an embodiment may use a resonant
`[0036]
`frequency of 13.56 MHZ and a bandwidth of around 9 kHz.
`This is highly usable for a substantially un-modulated funda-
`mental frequency. Some modulation on the fundamental fre-
`quency may be tolerated or tolerable, however, especially if
`other factors are used to increase the efiiciency. Other
`embodiments use lower Q components, and may allow cor-
`respondingly more modulation on the fundamental.
`[0037] An important feature may include use of a fre-
`quency which is permitted by regulation, such as FCC regu-
`lations. The preferred frequency in this exemplary embodi-
`ment is 13.56 MHZ but other frequencies may be used as well.
`[0038]
`In addition, the capacitors should be able to with-
`stand 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.
`
`[0039] 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 11 may be expressed
`as
`

`rA,t'rA,r'Qt'Qr
`16d6
`
`1M) s
`
`[0040] Note that this increases as the cube of the radius of
`the transmitting antenna, the cube of the radius of the receiv-
`ing antenna, and decreases to the sixth power of the distance.
`The radii of the transmit and receive antennas may be con-
`strained by the application in which they are used. Accord-
`ingly, increasing the Q in some applications may be a pre-
`ferred way of increasing the efficiency.
`[0041]
`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.
`
`[0042] The inventors discovered an optimum antenna that
`may exist with a single turn loop, provided that the loss
`resistance ofthe material, e. g., the wire or tubing, forming the
`loop is maintained sufficiently low.
`[0043] An embodiment illustrated in FIG. 5 uses a single
`turn antenna 500 formed of a relatively thick conductor mate-
`rial, driven by a smaller coil 505. The antenna 500 is provided
`in series with a capacitive loading, here a vacuum 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 suscep-
`tibility to loss from extraneous objects.
`[0044] 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.

`
`[0045] An issue with the single turn loop antenna is that it
`must have a relatively large diameter.
`[0046] 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 1/2 inch diameter coil 600. FIG. 6 illustrates a plastic
`housing, using a vacuum capacitor integrated directly on the
`antenna. The transmission inducement coil 610 is also
`
`mounted on the housing, connected to a cable 611.
`[0047] The receiver antennas can also be important. FIG. 7
`illustrates an exemplary receiver antenna including a plurality
`ofturns ofmaterial 700 mounted on a substrate 705.A capaci-
`tor 710 is attached to the coil material 700.
`[0048]
`It was found that the substrate that is used as a base
`may itself be important in setting the Q. Table 1 illustrates
`some exemplary electrical properties (including Quality fac-
`tor) for different substrates

`[0050] The FIG. 7 antenna is a six turn antenna, and has a
`quality factor of around 400. According to an embodiment, a
`high quality factor material, such as PTFE, is used as the
`substrate. Another aspect is the limits which can be used on
`these antennas. Table 2 illustrates the likely limits for the
`application.
`
`Some exemplary power transfer operations are illus-
`[0051]
`trated in FIG. 8. The receiver antenna can be small or “very
`small”. The transmitting antenna can be the type “large”,
`shown in FIG. 5, or the “cube” type shown in FIG. 6. FIG. 8
`illustrates the power for a transmit power of 15 W. The hori-
`zontal line 800 in FIG. 8 illustrates 1/2 watt being received for
`a 15 watt transmission. Anything above this amount may be
`considered acceptable.
`[0052]
`FIG. 9 illustrates the large transmit antenna, using
`30 mm tubing 900, and a vacuum capacitor 905 integrated in
`between the portions of the antenna. The capacitor 905 is
`mounted within a capacitor holder structure 910 which is
`welded or soldered between ends of the loop. A capacitor
`holder includes plural different standoffs 950, within which,
`or attached to which, the capacitors can be located. The sub-
`strate 911 in FIG. 9 may be a high-q material, as described
`above.
`
`[0053] Although only a few embodiments have been dis-
`closed in detail above, other embodiments are possible and
`the inventors intend these to be encompassed within this
`specification. The specification describes specific examples
`to accomplish~more general goal that may be accomplished
`in another way. This disclosure is intended to be exemplary,
`and the claims are intended to cover any modification or
`alternative which might be predictable to a person having
`ordinary skill in the art. For example, other sizes, materials
`and connections can be used. Although the coupling part of
`the antenna is shown as a single loop of wire, it should be
`understood that this coupling part can have multiple wire
`loops.
`[0054] Also, the inventors intend that only those claims
`which use the-words “means for” are intended to be inter-
`
`preted under 35 USC 112, sixth paragraph. Moreover, no
`limitations from the specification are intended to be read into
`any claims, unless those limitations are expressly included in
`the claims.
