Abstract
- In real applications, it is usually desirable to have a regulated dc output voltage from a wireless power transfer (WPT) system. This voltage regulation is especially necessary because of possible variation in coupling coil relative position and thus a changing mutual inductance. For WPT systems working at megahertz (MHz), Class E rectifiers are known to be advantageous, thanks to their simple configuration and soft-switching operation. In this paper, we propose a new Class-E-based active rectifier. This rectifier is capable to simultaneously perform high-efficiency rectification and output voltage regulation, but without the need to have an additional regulating circuit. Analytical derivations and analysis are provided to explain the operation principle in detail. Guidance is also developed for a balanced design of parameters, which compromises among different criteria. Final experiments validate the analytical analysis and dc output voltage regulation via the active rectifier. With the duty cycle control of the rectifier, a constant output voltage (10 V) can be maintained under a varying mutual inductance coefficient and with more than 92% rectifying efficiency.
