Abstract

Recent publications showed that a pair of neighboring printed circuit board (PCB) windings can be used as a contactless energy transfer device. As a continued study on this area, the current paper presents the modeling, analysis, and application of the neighboring PCB windings with an emphasis on their circuit properties and device characteristics as a contactless energy transfer device. Theoretical results of the paper are confirmed with experiments on a prototype contactless energy transfer circuit that delivers 24W output power at $68\%$ efficiency through two 35mm-diameter PCB windings separated each other by 2.4mm.
