A wireless power transfer system based on magnetically coupled two resonators is analysed using the filter theory. Design equations for each lumped parameter circuit components are derived. As a result, change of coupling coefficient between the resonators and/or change of load resistance are easily responded. Effect of circuit loss to the design theory is also addressed. After designing a power transfer system, a real system is constructed using spiral and loop coils. Dependence of circuit elements on their dimensions is measured in advance and used to cope with the designed element values. Simulated response by use of designed element values and measured result are compared, indicating the validity of the theory.

In this paper, an analytical framework is proposed for the optimization of network performance through joint congestion control, channel allocation, rate allocation, power control, scheduling, and routing with the consideration of fairness in multi-channel wireless multihop networks. More specifically, the framework models the network by a generalized network utility maximization (NUM) problem under an elastic link data rate and power constraints. Using the dual decomposition technique, the NUM problem is decomposed into four subproblems - flow control; next-hop routing; rate allocation and scheduling; power control; and channel allocation - and finally solved by a low-complexity distributed method. Simulation results show that the proposed distributed algorithm significantly improves the network throughput and energy efficiency compared with previous algorithms.

In this paper, we have designed and fabricated a BPF (Band Pass Filter) for 5.8GHz Microwave Wireless Power Transmission. We $used{\lambda}g/2$ open-circuited stubs in addition to T-shaped transmission lines for the BPF. This BPF removes harmonics caused by diodes of RF-DC converter, and thus the RF-DC converter converts more RF power to the DC. The performance of the BPF was measured and shown through direct comparison of voltages converted by the doubler as a RF-DC Converter with and without the BPF.

We have designed and fabricated two different RF-DC Converters called doubler for 5.8GHz Microwave Wireless Power Transmission. The doubler as RF-DC Converter makes the rectified voltage be doubled. We measured and compared voltages of the doublers with those of the previous full-wave rectifying RF-DC Converter. The doublers show rectified double voltages. However, the full-wave rectifying converter has a high efficiency due to the suppression of reflecting harmonics. The other fabricated doublers causes so many harmonics that they can't convert the low-power RF to the full DC. In this paper, we show that the different doublers doesn't double the rectifying voltages compared with those of the full-wave rectifying converter and give a reason about that.

Magnetic coupling delivering wireless power in capsular endoscope(CE) is described in this paper. The characteristic of the magnetic flux linkage coil which generates the induced electromotive force(emf) under the magnetic field was analyzed. With the analyzed results, a magnetic flux linkage coil system was developed and tested. It was confirmed that the magnetic flux linkage coil system could supply more than 50 mW power at 125 kHz without changing the structure of conventional CE.

This paper reports a flexible patch rectenna for wireless actuation of cellulose electro-active paper actuator (EAPap). The patch rectenna consists of rectifying circuit layer and ground layer, which converts microwave to dc power so as to wirelessly supply the power to the actuator. Patch rectennas are designed with different slot length at the ground layer. The fabricated devices are characterized depending on different substrates and polarization angles. The EAPap integrated with the patch rectenna is actuated by the microwave power. Detailed fabrication, characterization and demonstration of the integrated rectenna-EAPap actuator are explained.

무선 센서네트워크 환경에서 발생하는 다양한 정보는 각 노드들에 의해 수집되어 분석된 후 정보를 필요로 하는 원거리의 노드에게 보내어진다. 정보 교환을 통해 소모되는 전력량을 감안하여 최소한의 전력을 유지하지 못하면 노드와 네트워크 수명이 단축되고 협력 행동을 완수하지 못한다. 네트워크 수명을 최대화하기 위해 각 노드들이 태양전지를 이용해 전력을 공급받아 유지하는 연구가 진행되어왔다. 그에따라 전력을 고려한 적합한 전지가 모델화되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 무선 센서네트워크 환경에서 전력 충전, 방전을 고려하여 적합한 태양전지 모델을 제시한다.

In this paper, we propose the power-based pipelined-forwarding MAC protocol which can select relay nodes according to the residual power and energy harvesting rate in EH-WSN (energy-harvesting wireless sensor networks). The proposed MAC follows a pipelined-forwarding scheme in which nodes repeatedly sleep and wake up in an EH-WSN environment and data is continuously transmitted from a high-level node to a low-level node. The sleep interval is adaptively controlled so that nodes with low energy harvesting rate can be charged sufficiently, thereby minimizing the transmission delay and increasing the network lifetime. Simulation shows that the proposed MAC protocol improves the balance of residual power and network lifetime.

An innovative small-scale piezoelectric energy harvester has been proposed to gather wind energy. A conventional horizontal-axis wind power generation has a low generating efficiency at low wind speed. To overcome this weakness, we designed a piezoelectric windmill optimized at low-speed wind. A piezoelectric device having high energy conversion efficiency is used in a small windmill. The maximum output power of the windmill was about 3.14 mW when wind speed was 1.94 m/s. Finally, the output power and the efficiency of the system were compared with a conventional wind power system. This work will be beneficial for the piezoelectric energy harvesting technology to be applied to the real world such as wireless sensor networks (WSN).

This article presents an investigation of the effects on a grounding system of wireless power transfer (WPT) when transmitting over relatively far distances, that is, up to 1.25 m. Conventional two-coil WPT systems are sufficiently commercialized in strong coupling range, but it is important to accomplish the long-range WPT in weak coupling range for further various applications. This system depends on the coupling effect between the two coils that the grounds of the transmitting and receiving coils should be completely separated. However, when evaluating the performance of two-coil systems with the instrument consisting of two ports and one common ground, undesirable problems occur in weak coupling ranges, for example, obtaining disagreeable transmission efficiency and degrading system stability/reliability. We investigate the problems of the leakage power from common ground systems and provide a practical solution to obtain a reliable WPT system by using an isolation transformer. The usefulness of this approach is that it is possible to achieve the stability of the system with relatively far transmitting distances and to determine the exact transmission efficiency.
