Abstract
The use of multiple transmitters (Tx) has been an attractive solution for enabling free-positioning wireless power transfer (WPT) in a large area. One of the key challenges in such multi-Tx WPT systems is the cross-coupling between Tx coils. This letter proposes a compact self-decoupled Tx coil solution for multi-Tx WPT systems. The measured cross-coupling between Tx coils has been reduced by 95% compared to conventional coil designs. Additionally, an integration method for a compensation inductor with the main Tx coil is proposed. Therefore, the coil design proposed in this letter facilitates creation of fully modular and scalable Tx coils for multi-Tx WPT systems. The proposed designs are experimentally verified in a laboratory prototype.
