We investigate the indirect-fed magnetic resonant wireless power transfer (MR-WPT) system for wireless charging for mobile devices by rearranging the loops and coils. Conventional MR-WPT is difficult to apply to consumer electronic products because of the arrangement of the resonators. In addition, there are restrictions for charging using a wireless technology, which depend on the circumstances of the usage scenarios. For practical applications, we analyzed the transfer efficiency of the MR-WPT system with various combinations and positions of resonators. Three rearranged configurations (Out-Out, Out-In, In-In) have been considered and experimentally investigated using hollow pipe loops and wire copper coils. There were four types of loops and two types of coils; each one had a different diameter and thickness. The results of the measurements show that the trends of the transfer efficiencies for the three configurations were similar. A transfer efficiency of 82.5% was achieved at a 35-cm distance between the 60-cm diameter transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) coils.

This study evaluated the acoustic performance of two configurations of serial HR arrays and lined HR arrays in the presence of grazing flow using a 3D numerical simulation. The dual, triple, and quad HR arrays were compared to the conventional HR array. The simulation results showed that the number of resonant frequencies increased with the number of serial HR arrays. The C_TL did not significantly change with the number of serial HR arrays. The acoustic performance of the two, three, and four-lined HR arrays was compared to the conventional HR array. The results showed that the resonant frequency and TLmax increased with the number of lined HR arrays. The C_TL also increased with the number of lined HR arrays. The effect of the grazing flow Mach number (M_a) was investigated on the four-lined HR array configuration and compared to the conventional HR configuration. TLmax and C_TL decreased for both configurations with increasing M_a. The four-lined HR array configuration had significantly better acoustic performance than the conventional HR configuration. The TLmax and C_TL increased by more than 300% when the configuration was changed from the conventional HR to the four-lined HR array at M_a = 0.The increment percentage decreased with increasing M_a.

In this study, we designed, measured, and analyzed a rearranged L-shape magnetic resonance coupling wireless power transfer (MR-WPT) system for practical applications with laptops. The typical four resonator MR-WPT (Tx part: source loop and Tx coil; Rx part: Rx coil and load loop) is difficult to apply to small-sized stationary and mobile applications, such as laptop computers, tablet-PCs, and smartphones, owing to the large volume of the Rx part and the spatial restrictions of the Tx and Rx coils. Therefore, an L-shape structure, which is the orthogonal arrangement of the Tx and Rx parts, is proposed for indoor environment applications, such as at an L-shaped wall or desk. The relatively large Tx part and Rx coil can be installed in the wall and the desk, respectively, while the load loop is embedded in the small stationary or mobile devices. The transfer efficiency (TE) of the proposed system was measured according to the transfer distance (TD) and the misaligned locations of the load loop. In addition, we measured the TE in the active/non-active state and monitor-open/closed state of the laptop computer. The overall highest TE of the L-shape MR-WPT was 61.43% at 45 cm TD, and the TE decreased to 27.9% in the active and monitor-open state of the laptop computer. The conductive ground plane has a much higher impact on the performance when compared to the impact of the active/non-active states. We verified the characteristics and practical benefits of the proposed L-shape MR-WPT compared to the typical MR-WPT for applications to L-shaped corners.

THz 대역 전파흡수체를 구현하기 위해 split cut wire(SCW)와 배면 도체로 구성되는 단위 셀 구조를 제안하였다. 배면이 금속으로 단락된 유전체 기판 상에 SCW가 배열된 메타소재에서 SCW의 길이와 폭을 조절하여 THz 대역에서 완전 전파흡수체(5.5~6.0 THz에서 반사손실 -20 dB 이하)의 구현이 가능하였고, 인덕턴스-커패시턴스 (L-C) 공진기 회로이론으로 이를 설명하였다. 길이가 서로 다른 두 개의 SCW를 하나의 단위 셀 안에 같이 배치함으로써 두 개의 흡수 피크를 얻을 수 있었다. SCW 간의 간격이 넓어짐에 따라 두 번째 공진주파수는 거의 변화가 없지만 첫 번째 공진주파수는 저주파로 이동하면서 반사손실 값이 현저히 감소하는 경향이 나타났다.
