Description

Simultaneous wireless power and data transmission system between satellite and payload using a repeater resonator {SYSTEM FOR SIMULTANEOUS WIRELESS POWER AND DATA TRANSFER BETWEEN SATELLITE AND PAYLOAD USING REPEATER}

The following embodiments relate to a system for simultaneously transmitting wireless power and data between a satellite and a payload using a repeater resonator.

Satellites are objects that are artificially made to rotate around a planet. Depending on the altitude of the flying orbit, it is largely divided into stationary satellites and mobile satellites, and according to the purpose of use, it is divided into communication satellites, broadcasting satellites, meteorological satellites, scientific satellites, navigation satellites, earth observation satellites, technology development satellites, and military satellites.

A slip ring is an electrical/mechanical component, also called a rotary joint and a rotary connector, and is a type of rotary connector that can be transmitted without twisting wires when supplying power or signal lines to rotating equipment. Slip rings can be used in electronic systems that require rotation while transmitting power or signals.

In the magnetic resonance method, when two coils resonate at the same frequency, an electromagnetic wave transfers power from a transmitting resonator to a receiving resonator through a near-field magnetic field.

A payload mounted on an artificial satellite generally rotates, and the rotating payload needs a harness for receiving necessary power from the satellite and transmitting information acquired by the payload to the satellite. The spin machine assembly (SMA) is a key component to connect rotation and power or information, and it includes a slip ring assembly (SRA) to prevent twisting of the harness during rotational motion.

However, a slip ring assembly (SRA) to prevent twisting of the harness during rotational motion requires a separate rotor and harness to transmit power and information through mechanical contact to prevent twisting of the harness. There was a problem of not reducing noise generation due to rotational motion.

2 is a diagram showing a two-coil system and its equivalent circuit.

Referring to FIG. 2, the resonant frequency of a two-coil system can be obtained using the following [Equation 1].

In addition, assuming that the self-inductance of the primary side transmitter, the resonance frequency of the capacitor, the secondary side self-inductance, and the resonance frequency of the capacitor are the same as the resonance frequency obtained in [Equation 1], the efficiency of a two-coil system Can be derived using the following [Equation 2].

Referring to [Equation 2], it can be seen that the coupling coefficient k directly affects the efficiency of the two-coil system.

The biggest cause of the reduction in the efficiency of the 2 coil system is the increase in conduction loss due to the primary reflux current due to the lowered coupling factor. Therefore, for high efficiency, loss reduction at the transmitting end is required.

3 is a diagram showing a system in which a repeater resonator is introduced and an equivalent circuit thereof.

Referring to FIG. 3, FIG. 3(a) shows a first coil, a repeater resonator, and a second coil, and FIG. 3(b) shows an equivalent circuit of a first coil, a repeater resonator, and a second coil.

Referring to Figure 3 (a), suppose that the coupling coefficient between the first coil 301 and the repeater resonator 303 is k1, and the coupling coefficient between the repeater resonator 303 and the second coil 302 is k2, The efficiency of the system according to the position of the repeater resonator can be derived using the following [Equation 3].

In addition, the current of the first coil and the relay resonator can be induced using the following [Equation 4].

Referring to [Equation 3] and [Equation 4], the coupling coefficient k2 between the repeater resonator 303 and the second coil is slightly reduced, and the coupling between the first coil 301 and the repeater resonator 303 It can be seen that increasing the coefficient k1 reduces the reflux current to reduce the conduction loss. Therefore, positioning the repeater resonator 303 close to the first coil 301 may be one of the ways to increase the efficiency of the system.

4 is a diagram showing a multi-coil system and its equivalent circuit.

Referring to Figure 4, Figure 4 (a) is a three-coil (coil) system, Figure 4 (b) is a four-coil (coil) system.

4(a) shows a state in which the repeater resonator 401 is connected to the three-coil system 400 and an equivalent circuit 410 thereof.

4(b) shows a state in which the repeater resonator 421 is connected to a four-coil system 420 and an equivalent circuit 430 thereof.

It can be seen that the multiple (three-coil or four-coil) coil system creates an additional LC resonant impedance in the two-coil system. Therefore, the voltage gain curve must be obtained through impedance analysis, and the operating frequency must be determined accordingly.

3 The voltage gain of the coil system can be calculated using the following [Equation 5].

In addition, the voltage gain of a four-coil system can be obtained using the following [Equation 6].

In order to determine the operating frequency, a voltage gain curve of FIG. 5 to be described later was derived.

5 is a diagram showing voltage gain curves of a plurality of coil systems.

Referring to FIG. 5, FIG. 5(a) is a voltage gain curve of a two-coil system, and FIG. 5(b) is a voltage gain curve of a three-coil system.

Referring to FIG. 5 (a), when a two-coil system is operated at fw (self-inductance resonance), the voltage gain may fall below 1 in the heavy load region, and the voltage gain greatly changes, thus complicating the system design. Can be set.

5 (a) and 5 (b), if a two-coil system or a three-coil system is operated at fL_2, fH_2, fL_3, fH_3 (leakage inductance resonance), voltage gain is obtained depending on the load. It does not change, so design and operation can be simplified. However, if the load is sufficient, the voltage gain is high and the coupling factor is high, so the operation at the point fw can be considered.

6 is a diagram illustrating a four-coil magnetic resonance wireless power transmission system, and FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a four-coil magnetic resonance wireless power transmission system and an equivalent circuit thereof.

Referring to FIG. 6, the four-coil self-resonance method has an advantage that the volume of the system is large because more windings are used, but the coupling coefficient is high. At this time, the weak coupling 601 is not considered for convenience of analysis.

Referring to FIG. 7 (a), impedance analysis may be performed through an equivalent circuit in order to obtain a coupling coefficient of a four-coil self-resonant wireless power transmission system.

If the equivalent circuit of Fig. 7(a) is briefly summarized, an equivalent model as shown in Fig. 7(b) can be obtained.

Referring to FIG. 7(b), if the impedances projected onto the primary coil are set to “1”, the following [Equation 7] is established.

In addition, the impedance viewed from immediately behind Lp in FIG. 7(b) can be obtained using the following [Equation 8].

Therefore, the impedance viewed from the power of the transmitter can be obtained using the following [Equation 9].

Referring to [Equation 9], if the input impedance and the output impedance are the same, the coupling coefficient is 100%, and loss can be reduced, thereby increasing efficiency. Accordingly, in order to increase the power transmission efficiency by using at least two or more repeater resonators, the at least two repeater resonators must be arranged so that the input impedance and the output impedance of the self-resonant wireless power transmission system are the same.
