Abstract
In this paper, we proposed a method to control input powers and receiver loads for maximum efficiency in multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO) wireless power transfer(WPT) systems. The input voltage ratio between transmitters and receiver loads for maximum transfer efficiency is derived in terms of figure of merits. The theoretically derived input voltages for the transmitters and optimum loads for the receivers were found to be similar to those obtained by a genetic algorithm. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the theory using a few design examples. Using the results obtained from this study, effective and simplified designs of MIMO WPT systems will be possible.
