Abstract
In this paper, unit cell and arrayed cover for improving the transfer efficiency of resonant wireless power transfer system is proposed. We used the characteristic of zero refractive index for focusing a magnetic field between the transmitting resonator and receiving resonator. For zero refractive index, we designed the unit cell structure that have a negative value of effective permeability. The size of proposed unit cell based on metamaterial structure is $70mm{\times}70mm{\times}3.2mm$, operating frequency is 13.56 MHz. And, the size of arrayed cover is $400mm{\times}400mm{\times}3.2mm$, is consists of 2-layers. The transfer efficiency of the proposed wireless power transfer system are 94.8 %, 93.2 %, 91.4 %, 90.8 % at 100 mm, 200 mm, 300 mm and 400 mm (distance between transmitting and receiving resonator), respectively. And proposed WPT system has a transfer efficiency high than 90 % over the overall distances.
