  • a receiver 108 couples to the radiated field 106 and generates an output power 110 for storing or consumption by a device (not shown) coupled to the output power 110. Both the transmitter 104 and the receiver 108 are separated by a distance 112.
  • transmitter 104 and receiver 108 are configured according to a mutual resonant relationship and when the resonant frequency of receiver 108 and the resonant frequency of transmitter 104 are exactly identical, transmission losses between the transmitter 104 and the receiver 108 are minimal when the receiver 108 is located in the "near-field" of the radiated field 106.
  • Transmitter 104 further includes a transmit antenna 114 for providing a means for energy transmission and receiver 108 further includes a receive antenna 118 for providing a means for energy reception.
  • the transmit and receive antennas are sized according to applications and devices to be associated therewith. As stated, an efficient energy transfer occurs by coupling a large portion of the energy in the near-field of the transmitting antenna to a receiving antenna rather than propagating most of the energy in an electromagnetic wave to the far-field. When in the near-field a coupling mode may be developed between the transmit antenna 114 and the receive antenna 118. The area around the antennas 114 and 118 where the near- field coupling may occur is referred to herein as a coupling-mode region.

  • Loop antennas may be configured to include an air core or a physical core such as a ferrite core. Air core loop antennas may be more tolerable to extraneous physical devices placed in the vicinity of the core. Furthermore, an air core loop antenna allows the placement of other components within the core area. In addition, an air core loop may more readily enable placement of the receive antenna 118 (FIG. 2) within a plane of the transmit antenna 114 (FIG. 2) where the coupled-mode region of the transmit antenna 114 (FIG. 2) may be more powerful.
  • the resonant frequency of the loop or magnetic antennas is based on the inductance and capacitance.
  • Inductance in a loop antenna is generally the inductance created by the loop, whereas, capacitance is generally added to the loop antenna's inductance to create a resonant structure at a desired resonant frequency.
  • capacitor 152 and capacitor 154 may be added to the antenna to create a resonant circuit that generates resonant signal 156. Accordingly, for larger diameter loop antennas, the size of capacitance needed to induce resonance decreases as the diameter or inductance of the loop increases. Furthermore, as the diameter of the loop or magnetic antenna increases, the efficient energy transfer area of the near-field increases.
  • resonant circuits are possible.
  • a capacitor may be placed in parallel between the two terminals of the loop antenna.

Each end of antenna 250 are connected into a receiver/transmitter unit (not shown), rather than having one end connected to ground as in FIG. 3A.
  • Capacitors 252, 253, 254 may be added to the antenna 250 to create a resonant circuit that generates a differential resonant signal.
  • a differential antenna configuration may be useful in situations when communication is bidirectional and transmission into the coil is required. One such situation may be for Near Field Communication (NFC) systems.

  • Exemplary embodiments of the invention include coupling power between two antennas that are in the near-fields of each other.
  • the near-field is an area around the antenna in which electromagnetic fields exist but may not propagate or radiate away from the antenna.
  • a near-field is typically confined to a volume that is near the physical volume of the antenna.
  • magnetic type antennas such as single and multi-turn loop antennas are used for both transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) antenna systems because magnetic near-field amplitudes tend to be higher for magnetic type antennas in comparison to the electric near-fields of an electric -type antenna (e.g., a small dipole), allowing for potentially higher coupling between the pair.
  • "electric" antennas e.g., dipoles and monopoles
  • a combination of magnetic and electric antennas are also contemplated as within the scope of the present invention.

Abstract

L'invention concerne, dans des modes de réalisation en exemple, la mise à niveau de dispositifs électroniques existants pour une transmission d'énergie sans fil et une communication en champ proche. Des circuits de mise à niveau comprennent une antenne pour recevoir un signal d'une source externe et des circuits de conversion pour convertir le signal devant être utilisé par un dispositif électronique. L'antenne et les circuits de conversion sont configurés pour mettre à niveau le dispositif électronique, le dispositif électronique ne comprenant pas à l'origine l'antenne ni les circuits de conversion. L'antenne et les circuits de conversion peuvent être configurés pour recevoir et convertir le signal afin de générer de l'énergie sans fil pour le dispositif électronique. L'antenne et les circuits de conversion peuvent également être configurés pour que le dispositif électronique puisse envoyer et recevoir des données de communication en champ proche.
