Summary:
A two-dimensional (2D) wireless power transmission (WPT) system that handles a wide range of transmitted and received power is proposed and evaluated. A transmitter outputs the power to an arbitrary position on a 2D waveguide sheet by using a beam-forming technique. The 2D waveguide sheet does not require an absorber on its edge. The minimum propagation power on the sheet is increased 18 times by using the beam-forming technique. Power amplifier (PA) efficiency was improved from 19% to 46% when the output power was 10dB smaller than peak power due to the use of a PA supply-voltage and input power control method. Peak PA efficiency was 60%. A receiver inputs a wide range of power levels and drives various load impedances with a parallel rectifier. This rectifier enables a number of rectifying units to be tuned dynamically. The rectifier efficiency was improved 1.5 times while input power range was expanded by 6dB and the load-impedance range was expanded fourfold. The rectifier efficiency was 66-73% over an input power range of 18-36dBm at load impedances of 100 and 400Ω.
