DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
(First embodiment)
FIG. 1 shows a microwave power receiving apparatus of the present invention.
A microwave pulse intermittently transmitted as shown in FIG. 3A is sent to the microwave power receiving device from a power transmitting device (not shown).
[0016]
The microwave pulse is captured by the antenna 1 and sent to the filter 2. This filter 2 is composed of capacitors 3 and 4 and an inductor 5, and blocks the passage of harmonics in order to prevent the harmonics generated in the rectifier circuit 8 at the subsequent stage from being radiated from the antenna 1. The microwave pulse that has passed through the filter 2 is sent to a rectifier circuit 8 including two Schottky barrier diodes (hereinafter referred to as SBDs) 6 and 7. This rectifier circuit 8 is a half-wave / double-voltage rectifier circuit, which can drop only 1D as compared with the 4Di system, can perform full-wave rectification, and outputs a DC pulse as shown in FIG.
[0017]
The DC pulse output from the rectifier circuit 8 is input to a switched capacitor circuit 9 serving as a switch means. The switched capacitor circuit 9 includes a plurality of capacitors C, a switch SW composed of a MOSFET, and an inverter 10. That is, one end of each of the plurality of capacitors C is connected in parallel via the switch SW, and both ends of the parallel connected capacitors C are connected to the rectifier circuit 8 and the storage capacitor 11 via the switch SW.
[0018]
The clock signal CK is input to the gate of the MOSFET constituting the odd-numbered SW, while the inverted clock signal CK bar is input to the gate of the MOSFET constituting the even-numbered SW. Further, the clock signal CK is input to the odd-numbered capacitors C1, C3... Via one inverter 10, while the clocks are input to the even-numbered capacitors C2, C4. A signal CK is input. That is, since the boost voltage is applied to each capacitor C, the voltage is boosted by the number of stages and stored in the storage capacitor 11 at the final stage.
[0019]
When the clock signal CK becomes H level, as shown in FIG. 2A, the odd-numbered switches SW1, SW3,... Are turned on, and the boost voltage is applied to the even-numbered capacitors C2, C4,. The Therefore, the charge flows from the rectifier circuit 6 into the first capacitor C1, and the charges of the even-numbered capacitors C2, C4... Are pumped out to the capacitors C3, C5.
[0020]
When the clock signal CK becomes L level, the even-numbered switches SW2, SW4,... Are turned ON and the boost voltage is applied to the odd-numbered capacitors C1, C3,. The Therefore, the charges of the odd-numbered capacitors C1, C3,... Are pumped out to the capacitors C2, C3,. In this manner, the electric charge of each capacitor C is sequentially pumped out to the capacitor C at the subsequent stage in synchronization with the clock signal CK. The electric charge pumped out from the switched capacitor circuit 9 is temporarily stored in the storage capacitor 11 and supplied from the output terminal 12 to the load.
[0021]
The frequency of the clock signal CK is set higher than the frequency of the output pulse from the rectifier circuit 8 shown in FIG. However, during the period when no pulse is output from the rectifier circuit 8, both the clock signal CK and the inverted clock signal CK bar are set to L level, and all the switches SW are turned OFF.
[0022]
Since a microwave pulse as shown in FIG. 3A is sent to the power receiving apparatus from the power transmitting apparatus, the duty ratio t / T of the microwave pulse may be changed when adjusting the power transmission amount. . Incidentally, since the rectifier circuit 8 has the efficiency characteristics as shown in FIG. 4, the received power is set to Po to maximize the rectification efficiency. In the conventional continuous wave power transmission method, when the amount of power transmission is to be adjusted, the transmitted power must be changed. Therefore, the received power deviates from the value Po at which the maximum efficiency is achieved, and the rectification efficiency deteriorates. .
On the other hand, in the pulse power transmission method of the present invention, since the duty ratio t / T of the microwave pulse is changed by PWM modulation, that is, the received power does not change, the rectification efficiency can be kept at the maximum.
[0023]
By the way, when the switched capacitor circuit 9 is omitted and the rectifier circuit 8 and the storage capacitor 11 are directly connected, current flows backward from the storage capacitor 11 to the SBD 6, 7 due to the reverse leakage characteristics of the SBDs 6, 7. FIG. A rectified waveform as shown in FIG. For this reason, during the period when no DC pulse is output from the rectifier circuit 6, the generation of the clock signal CK is stopped and all the SWs are turned OFF, thereby preventing the reverse flow from the capacitor C or the storage capacitor 11 to the SBDs 6 and 7. Thus, the output is prevented from decreasing.
[0024]
Furthermore, since the boost voltage is applied to each capacitor C of the switched capacitor circuit 9 so as to pump out the charge, the charge stored in the storage capacitor increases.
[0025]
The microwave pulse shown in FIG. 3A preferably has a pulse width t of 2 to 18 msec, a period T of 20 msec, and a duty ratio t / T of 10 to 90%. The frequency of the clock signal CK is preferably 10 K to 500 KHz.
[0026]
(Second Embodiment)
FIG. 5 shows a microwave power transmission system.
The power transmission device amplifies the output signal of the frequency sweep signal generator 20 by the amplifier 21 and radiates it from the antenna 22. The frequency sweep signal generator 20 generates a microwave pulse signal as shown in FIG. That is, a signal whose frequency is monotonically lower within the pulse duration t is generated.
[0027]
The power receiving apparatus captures the microwave pulse from the power transmitting apparatus with the antenna 23 and passes it through the delay filter 24. As shown in FIG. 8, the delay filter 24 has a characteristic that the delay time increases as the frequency increases. FIG. 7 shows a waveform change due to the passage of the microwave pulse through the delay filter 24. That is, a waveform having a high frequency is delayed and overlaps with a waveform having a low frequency to interfere with each other, and the pulse width is narrowed to increase the peak value.
[0028]
The microwave pulse that has passed through the delay filter 24 is rectified by the rectifier circuit 25 to become a DC pulse. The DC pulse is supplied to the load 27 via the switched capacitor circuit 26. The rectifier circuit 25 and the switched capacitor circuit 26 are the same as the rectifier circuit 8 and the switched capacitor circuit 9 of the first embodiment.
[0029]
FIG. 9 shows changes in the power spectrum of the microwave. That is, the microwave transmitted from the power transmission device is distributed in a wide band with a small amplitude of the spectrum component (curve in FIG. 3A). On the other hand, the microwave that has passed through the delay filter 24 is distributed in a narrow band with a large amplitude and a spectrum component (curve in FIG. 5B). That is, the spectrum component that has been spread over a wide band on the power transmission side is compressed into a narrow band on the power reception side, thereby increasing the amplitude of the spectrum distribution.
[0030]
In microwave power transmission, considering the influence of microwaves on ecosystems and interference with communication radio waves, there is a limit to increasing the power density of microwaves. That is, there is a limit to the power that can be obtained from the unit module of the power receiving apparatus. However, according to the power transmission method described above, the amplitude of the spectrum distribution is increased by band compression on the power receiving side, so that the transmitted power can be increased without increasing the power density of the microwave.
[0031]
Furthermore, a DC pulse is output from the rectifier circuit 25. Since the switched capacitor circuit 26 is provided at the subsequent stage of the rectifier circuit 25, current leakage to the SBD of the rectifier circuit 25 can be prevented. It helps to prevent the output from decreasing.
[0032]
The frequency generated by the frequency sweep signal generator 20 is preferably changed in a range of about 100 MHz, for example, 2.4 to 2.5 GHz. The pulse duration t is preferably about 10 msec and the duty ratio is 10 to 90%.
[0033]
(Third embodiment)
Next, a case where the microwave power transmission method of the second embodiment is applied to an ID tag system will be described. In addition, the same component as 2nd Embodiment attaches | subjects the same code | symbol, and abbreviate | omits description.
[0034]
FIG. 10 is a block diagram on the reader side.
A circulator 28 is provided between the amplifier 21 and the antenna 22, and a demodulator 29 is connected to the circulator 28 via the amplifier 21. That is, the circulator 28 enables signal transmission from the frequency sweep signal generator 20 to the antenna 22 and signal transmission from the antenna 22 to the demodulator 29. Note that a rectifier circuit 25 may be provided between the circulator 28 and the amplifier 21.
[0035]
FIG. 11 is a block diagram on the tag side.
A load resistor 31 is connected to the rectifier circuit 25 via a load switch 30, and the load switch 30 is opened and closed by a signal from the microcomputer 32. The DC pulse output from the switched capacitor circuit 26 charges the secondary battery 33, and the microcomputer 32 is activated with the secondary battery 33 as a power source.
[0036]
Next, the operation of this ID tag system will be described.
A microwave pulse as shown in FIG. 6 is sent from the reader to the tag. The reader rectifies the microwave pulse by the rectifier circuit 26 and supplies the DC pulse to the secondary battery 33 via the switched capacitor circuit 26. When the voltage of the secondary battery 33 reaches a specified value, the microcomputer 32 is activated to open and close the load switch 30 in synchronization with the microwave pulse. That is, this tag is of a battery-less type that is supplied with power from a reader by microwave power transmission. Note that the load switch 30 is opened and closed corresponding to serial data to be transmitted to the reader side.
[0037]
When the load switch 30 is opened and closed, the current flowing from the rectifier circuit 25 to the load resistor 31 is interrupted. However, as the load switch 30 is opened and closed, the reflectance of the microwave reflected by the tag-side antenna 23 changes. . The reflected wave interferes with the incident wave to generate a standing wave, and its peak value also changes depending on the opening / closing of the load switch 30. That is, the VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) seen from the reader side changes.
[0038]
This standing wave is received by the antenna 22 on the reader side, and input to the demodulator 29 through the circulator 28 and the amplifier 21. Data transmission from the tag to the reader is performed in this way. FIG. 12A schematically shows a microwave pulse sent from the reader, and FIG. 12B schematically shows a standing wave returning to the reader.
When this action is applied to the use of power transmission by microwaves, which is one of the objects of the present invention, some communication can be performed from the load side to the power transmission side. For example, when sufficient power is not supplied, a request signal for increasing the amount of power transmission can be sent. The power transmission side can grasp the consumption situation on the load side.
[0039]
In this ID tag system, power is supplied to the tag side by microwave pulses as shown in FIG. 6, so that even if the microwave power density is kept within the allowable range of the Radio Law, large power can be supplied. become. That is, in order to shorten the charging time of the secondary battery 33 on the tag side, when using a microwave pulse as shown in FIG. 3A, the duty ratio must be made as large as possible. When a microwave pulse as shown in FIG. 7 is used, it becomes a pulse anyway after rectification as shown in FIG. 7, and it is not necessary to set the duty ratio as large as possible in order to obtain a large electric power. (10 to 90%) can be varied, and the duty ratio can be small. Digital signal data can be exchanged by modulating the duty ratio.
[0040]
Therefore, the pulse frequency can be increased and the communication speed is increased.
Furthermore, a modulation method other than ASK (Amplitude shift Keying) can be adopted, and the degree of freedom in modulation is increased.
In addition, there is an effect that the reach distance of the radio wave is significantly increased.
[0041]

The phase of the signal may be shifted for each switched capacitor circuit 9. For example, there are three switched capacitor circuits in this circuit, so that the balance is good if the phases are shifted by 90 degrees. By doing so, the dead time due to ON / OFF of the switch can be reduced, which is efficient.

[0044]
The operation of the switched capacitor circuit 9 will be described. In state 1, capacitors CPT1 to CPTn connected in series are connected to the storage capacitor 11 via the HV output terminal 9a and discharged, and in state 2, Are connected to the capacitors CPT1 to CPTn connected in parallel via the RF input terminals 9b and 9c, and stored in the capacitors CPT1 to CPTn.
State 1 and 2, a clock signal input to the clock input terminal 9d and the inverted clock input terminal 9e, are alternately repeated at a predetermined frequency (period) by the switch SW1~SW2n controlled recombinant off by the inverted clock signal. Therefore, the above-described charging / discharging operation of the capacitors CPT1 to CPTn is repeated at a predetermined frequency, and the electric charge is pumped out to the storage capacitor 11.

The switched capacitor circuits 9 and 9 include an RFH input terminal 9b; an RFL input terminal 9c, an HV output terminal 9a, and an LV output terminal 9f.
The RFH input terminal 9b and the RFL input terminal 9c of the switched capacitor circuits 9 and 9 are so-called stake-connected to the RF input. That is, the RFH input terminal 9b of one switched capacitor circuit 9 and the RFL input terminal 9c of the other switched capacitor circuit 9 are respectively connected to the RF input terminal H108, the RFL input terminal 9b of the one switched capacitor circuit 9 and the other. RFH input terminals 9c of the switched capacitor circuit 9 are connected to the RF input terminal 107, respectively.
[0048]

Has been.
The LV output terminal 9 f of one switched capacitor circuit 9 and the LV output terminal 9 f of the other switched capacitor circuit 9 are connected in common and connected to one end of the storage capacitor 11.
[0049]
FIG. 17 shows a specific circuit configuration example of the switched capacitor circuit 9 described with reference to FIG. 16. FIG. 17 has substantially the same configuration as that of FIG. 15, except that there is no switch clock control. In other words, in this embodiment, since the input microwave pulse directly opens and closes the MOS gate, which is a switching element, to open and close the switch, the clock control as described above is not required, so that the charge consumption can be reduced. Efficient. In FIG. 17, the same reference numerals as those in FIG. 15 denote the same or corresponding parts.
[0050]

In this case, as shown in FIG. 23, if the amount of change in frequency is changed over a long period of time, the power receiving side needs to have a relationship between the frequency and the amount of delay as shown in FIG. That is, a delay circuit having a plurality of delay time with respect to frequency, and unless a good power receiving can not be performed performed switched with a circuit such corresponding to the time-frequency change as shown in FIG. 24. In contrast, by providing a plurality of delay filter circuit as shown in FIG. 25, in accordance with the amount of change with respect to time negotiated with the advance power transmission side, and to work with so that a sequence recombination off delay filter circuit If so, good power reception is possible.

Here, the frequency change with respect to time has been described linearly in the above description. However, since the duty is constant in this method, for example, when a signal is transmitted by PWM modulation, it becomes PFW. Then, the peak value of the DC pulse after rectification increases and decreases depending on the data. In order to avoid this, the frequency change with respect to the time may be stepped.
