본 연구에서는 회전자계역수신코일(quadrature typed inside-out receiver coil)을 제작하고 이를 이용하여 코일 바깥 영역인 팬텀 관벽에 대한 자기공명영상(Magnetic Resonance Imaging, 이하 MRI라 함)을 얻었다. 자기공명영상법에 있어서 역 솔레노이드코일이나 8극 코일과 같은 기존의 역수신코일(inside-out receiver coil)은 영상영역(Imaging region)이 좁을 뿐만 아니라 영상영역 내의 영상신호가 불균일 (inhomogeneous)하다는 단점들이 있었다. 본 연구에서는 이들을 보완하면서 신호대잡음비(S/N ratio)도 이론적으로 약 1.4배 높일 수 있는 회전자계역수신코일(quadratic inside-out receiver coil)을 제안하여 관벽의 영상을 얻을 수 있는 코일을 개발하였다. 코일은 두 개의 안장코일 (saddle coil)을 서로 수직 방향으로 배치하여 서로 간섭을 일으키지 않으면서 최대의 신호를 수신할 수 있게 하였다. 코일에 대한 컴퓨터 모의실험(simulation)을 8극코일. 단일안장코일과 회전자계코일에 대해서 수행하였고 이들 각각 코일을 제작하여 팬텀 관벽의 영상 실험을 1.5T와 0.3T MRI 장치에서 수행하였다. 회전자계역수신코일의 성능은 단일안장코일과 8극코일보다 감도의 균일도가 우수하였고 신호대 잡음비도 단일안장코일에 비하여 약 36% 높게 측정되어 이론적인 41%와 근사한 결과를 얻었다

A novel analytic solution has been derived for the bird-cage receiver coil of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system, which is widely used in 3-dimensional medical imaging, by transforming the coil into an equivalent circuit model by using a transmission matrix-based circuit analysis. The bird-cage coil composed of N legs is divided into a cell for which input impedance is to be analyzed and the remaining N-1 cells, and then a transmission matrix corresponding to the N-1 cells is converted into a circuit to transform the 3-dimensional bird-cage coil into the 2-dimensional equivalent circuit model, which is suitable to derive the analytic solution for the input impedance. The proposed method derives directly the analytic solution for the input impedance at an arbitrary point of the coil unlike the conventional analytic solution of a bird-cage coil, so that it can be used not only for resonance frequency calculations but also for various coil characteristics analyses. Since the analytic solution agreed well with the results of computational simulations, it can be useful for the impedance matching of a coil and the analysis and the design of a multi-tune bird-cage coil.

In this study, a planar printed circuit board (PCB) coil with FR4 substrate was designed and simulated using the finite element method, and the results were analyzed in the frequency domain. This coil can be used in wireless power transfer (WPT) as a transmitter or receiver, eliminating wires. It can also be used as the receiver in radio frequency energy-harvesting (RF-EH) systems by optimizing the planar PCB coil to convert radio-wave energy into electricity, and it can be employed as an excitation (transmitter) or receiver coil in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. This PCB coil can replace the conventional coil, yielding a reduced occupied volume, a fine-tuned design, reduced weight, and increased efficiency. Based on the calculated gain, power, and electromagnetic and electric field results, this planar PCB coil can be implemented in WPT, NMR spectroscopy, and RF-EH devices with minor changes. In applications such as NMR spectroscopy, it can be used as a transceiver planar PCB coil. In this design, at frequencies of 915 MHz and 40 MHz with 5 mm between coils, we received powers of 287.3 μW and 480 μW, respectively, which are suitable for an NMR coil or RF-EH system.

무선충전은 전선 없이 전자기기를 충전할 수 있다는 사용자의 편의적인 측면에 장점이 커 활발히 연구개발되고 널리 보급되었다. 하지만 무선충전패드에서 수신기의 중심이 어긋날 경우에 충전이 되지 않아 수신기의 중심을 잘 맞춰야 한다는 점은 사용자의 편의성이라는 무선충전의 효용성을 크게 저감시킨다. 본 논문은 이러한 무선충전의 한계를 극복하고자 수신기의 위치 자유도를 향상시키기 위한 코일 설계를 진행하였다. Tx 코일이 Rx 코일과 사이즈가 비슷할 때보다 외경 크기가 클 때 중심에서 효율은 다소 저하되었지만, 중심이 어긋날 경우의 효율이 개선되어 Rx 코일의 위치 자유도가 향상됨을 알 수 있었다. 이 때, Tx 코일에 내측 코일이 추가로 구성된 이중코일 구조를 제안하여 효율을 추가적으로 향상시킬 수 있었다. 자유도 개선 결과를 시뮬레이션과 측정을 통해 효율을 확인하였고, 경향성이 일치함을 볼 수 있었다. 측정 결과, 105~210 kHz 동작 주파수에서 송수신 코일의 전송거리 3 mm, 오정렬 15 mm일 때, 수신 코일에 전류가 1A 흐를 때 기준으로 기존 Tx 코일의 전송 효율은 37 %, 외경 크기를 키운 코일의 효율은 45 %, 내측 코일을 추가한 이중 코일은 47 %로 효율이 향상되었다.

In this paper, the shield plate was applied to the wireless power transfer (WPT) system. Then we compared transmission efficiency of WPT system between transmitter and receiver coils. The superconductor coil was applied to transmitter and receiver coils in order to increase the transmission efficiency of WPT. The superconductor coil was more effective to power transmission as its current density was higher than normal conductor coil. Efficiency of WPT between transmitter and receiver coils was changed by a quality of shielding. We used the shielding materials such as glass, iron, steels, aluminum etc. The efficiency of WPT system was depended on the shielding materials of transmitter and receiver coils. As a result, magnetic material such as aluminum, iron reduced the magnetic flux density and the efficiency of WPT. remarkably, but in non-magnetic material such as glass and plastic, the efficiency of WPT was unaffected.

In order to prevent the belt from being damaged by metal pieces, we developed multicoil-type metal detection system. This detects the presence of belt clips and position of metal pieces in ores being transported on conveyor belt. In this research, our coil sensor of multicoil-type metal detection system is divided into two parts, exciting part (transmitter coil) and sensing part composed of two receiver coils. Each receiver coil has several coils in the direction of belt width. Multicoil-type metal detection system is operated by supplying a transmitter coil with electric power resources to generate magnetic field, and then the change of magnetic flux resulted from a metal piece on the conveyor be a is induced into sensing coils. We can prevent detector from failing to catch metal pieces due to high threshold level produced by steel belt clips and male the sensitivity of belt-width direction uniform by using multicoil-type metal detection system. Besides, this developed system can recognize precise position and size of metal piece. The experiments shows that our multicoil-type metal detection system has better performances than the conventional metal piece detector.

Using high magnetic flux from a 60 Hz high-current cable, a 2 W wireless-powered energy harvesting receiver for sensor operation, internet of things (IoT) devices, and LED lights inside electrical cable tunnels is proposed. The proposed receiver comprises a copper coil with a high number of turns, a ring-shaped ferromagnetic core, a capacitor for compensating for the impedance of the coil in series, and a rectifier with various types of loads, such as sensors, IoT devices, and LEDs. To achieve safe and easy installation around the power cable, the proposed ring-shaped receiver is designed to easily open or close using a clothespin-shaped handle, which is made of highly-insulated plastic. Laminated silicon steel plates are assembled and used as the core because of their mechanical robustness and high saturation flux density characteristic, in which the thickness of each isolated plate is 0.3 mm. The series-connected resonant capacitor, which is appropriate for low-voltage applications, is used together with the proposed receiver coil. The concept of the figure of merit, which is the product weight and cost of both the silicon steel plate and the copper wire, is used for an optimized design; therefore, the weight of the fabricated receiver and the price of raw material is 750 gf and USD $2 each, respectively. The 2.2 W powering capability of the fabricated receiver was experimentally verified with a power cable current of $100A_{rms}$ at 60Hz.

Many studies are being conducted to implement wireless charging, for example, for cellular phones or electronic tooth brushes, via wireless power transmission technique. However, the magnetic induction method had a very short transmission distance. To solve this problem, the team of Professor Marin Soljacic proposed a magnetic resonance system that used two resonance coils with the same resonance frequency. It had an approximately 40% efficiency at a 2m distance. The system improved the low efficiency and short distance problems of the existing systems. So it could also widen the application range of wireless power transmission. Many studies on the subject are underway. In this paper, the superconductor coil was used to improve the efficiency of magnetic resonance wireless power transmission. The resonance wireless power transmission system had a source coil, a load coil, and resonance coils (a transmitter and a receiver). The efficiency and distance depended on the characteristics of the transmitter and receiver coils that had the same resonance frequency. Therefore, two resonance coils were fabricated by superconductors. The current density of the superconductor was higher than that of the normal conductor coil. Accordingly, it had a high quality-factor and improved efficiency.
