Coupling with a ring of capacitors introduces in-phase coupling current in multi-stage LC oscillators, increasing coupling strength and phase spacing accuracy. Capacitive coupling is effective at high-frequency applications because it increases coupling strength with the operating frequency. However, capacitive loading from the ring lowers operating frequency and reduces the tuning range. Mathematical expressions of phase noise and phase spacing accuracy with capacitive coupling are examined here, and transistor-level simulations confirm the effectiveness of the capacitive coupling.

This work proposes a capacitive coupling-based wireless battery charging circuit that is built with vehicle glasses for electric vehicles. A capacitive coupling wireless power transfer offers many advantages, such as low metal impact and low energy transfer efficiency changes in accordance with changes in position. However, a large coupling capacitor is needed for high power transfer. Therefore, a new capacitive coupling-based wireless power transfer LLC resonant converter built with the glasses of an electric vehicle is proposed. The proposed converter is composed of coupling capacitors with glasses of an electric vehicle and two transformers for impedance transformation. The proposed LLC converter can transfer large power and obtain high efficiency with zero voltage switching. The validity and features of the proposed circuit is verified by experimental results with a 1.2 kW prototype.

Wireless power transfer technologies typically include inductive coupling, magnetic resonance, and capacitive coupling methods. Among these methods, capacitive coupling wireless power transfer (CCWPT) has been studied to overcome the drawbacks of other approaches. CCWPT has many advantages such as having a simple structure, low standing power loss, reduced electromagnetic interference (EMI) and the ability to transfer power through metal barriers. In this paper, the CCWPT system with 6.78MHz class D inverter is proposed and analyzed. The proposed system consists of a 6.78MHz class D inverter with a LC low pass filter, capacitor between a transmitter and a receiver, and impedance transformers. The system is verified with a prototype for charging mobile devices.

Superconducting coplanar waveguide (SCPW) resonators with high quality (Q) factor are widely used for developing quantum sensors and quantum information processors. Here we conducted numerical simulations of SCPW resonators to investigate the relationship between the Q factor and the coupling capacitance of the resonator. Varying the geometrical shape of both ends and coupling parameters of the SCPW resonator resulted in a change of the coupling capacitances and the Q factor as well. Our calculation results indicate that the performance of the SCPW resonator is highly sensitive to the capacitive coupling and searching for an optimal coupling condition would be crucial for developing high-performance SCPW resonator.

A new level shifter using low-temperature polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) thin-film transistors (TFTs) for low-power applications is proposed. The proposed level shifter uses a capacitive-coupling effect and can reduce the power consumption owing to its no-short-circuit current. Its power saving over the conventional level shifter is 72% for a 3.3 V input and a 10 V output.

In this paper, passive telemetry capacitive humidity sensor system using a RLSE(Recursive Least Square Estimation) technique is proposed. To overcome the problem like power limits and complications that general passive telemetry sensor system including IC chip has, the principle of inductive coupling is applied to model the sensor system. Specially. by applying the forgetting factor we show that the accuracy of its estimation can be improved even in the case of time varying parameter and also the convergence time can be reduced.

This paper tests the feasibility of using the transparent electrode as the electrode of the capacitor in order to use the vehicle glass of the electric vehicle for a capacitive coupling wireless transfer (CCWPT). Large coupling capacitance can be obtained due to large area and high permittivity using the glasses of an electric vehicle. However, if an electrode is formed on a metal such as copper, then a view cannot be guaranteed and a transparent electrode can pose a solution. Therefore, the coupling capacitor is implemented by forming a glass dielectric with an ITO transparent electrode on one side through a semiconductor deposition process. The loss of the coupling capacitor is investigated, and a 200 W CCWPT prototype is fabricated and tested for its characteristics and power transfer.

This paper presents a capacitive power transfer (CPT) system using a Class-E resonant inverter. A Class-E resonant inverter is chosen because of its ability to perform DC-to-AC inversion efficiently while significantly reducing switching losses. The proposed CPT system consists of an efficient Class-E resonant inverter and capacitive coupling formed by two flat rectangular transmitter and receiver plates. To understand CPT behavior, we study the effects of various coupling distances on output power performance. The proposed design is verified through lab experiments with a nominal operating frequency of 1 MHz and 0.25 mm coupling gap. An efficiency of 96.3% is achieved. A simple frequency tracking unit is also proposed to tune the operating frequency in response to changes in the coupling gap. With this resonant frequency tracking unit, the efficiency of the proposed CPT system can be maintained within 96.3%-91% for the coupling gap range of 0.25-2 mm.

In this paper, a planar printed hybrid short/open-ended slot antenna with capacitive coupling feed strips is proposed for hepta-band mobile applications. The proposed antenna is comprised of a slotted ground plane on the top plane and two capacitive coupling feed strips with a chip inductor on the bottom plane. At the low frequency band, the short-ended long slot fed by strip 1 generates its half-wavelength resonance mode, whereas the T-shaped open ended slot fed by strip 2 generates its quarter-wavelength resonance mode for the high frequency band. The antenna provides a wide bandwidth covering GSM850/GSM900/DCS/PCS/UMTS/LTE2300/LTE2500 operation bands. Moreover, the antenna occupies a small volume of $15mm{\times}50mm{\times}1mm$. The operating principle of the proposed antenna and the simulation/measurement results are presented and discussed.

The design of large area thin film transistor liquid crystal displays (TFT-LCDs) requires consideration of cross-talks between the data lines and pixel electrodes. These limits are imposed by the parasitic capacitive elements present in a pixel. The capacitive coupling of the data line signal onto the pixel causes a pixel voltage error. In this study semi-empirical capacitance model which is adopted from VLSI interconnection capacitance calculations was used to calculate mutual coupling capacitances. With calculated mutual coupling capacitances and given image pattern, the root mean square(RMS) voltage of pixel is calculated to see vertical cross-talk from the first to the last column. The information obtained from this study could be utilized to design the larger area and finer image quality panel.
