Description
The present invention relates to wireless power transfer,and more
particularly,to multi-frequency wireless power transfer.
Wireless power transfer technology has re-emerged as a viable technology
for domestic and industrial applications.Recently,multiple-frequency wireless power
transmission has been proposed as a means to enhance wireless power transfer.In the
article by K.Lee and S.Lukic entitled“Inductive power transfer by means of multiple
frequencies in the magnetic link,”IEEE Energy Conversion Congress and Exposition
(ECCE),Denver,USA,September 2013,pp:2912-2919,multi-resonant tanks are used at
the transmitter and receiver to amplify and extract power at multiple frequencies.In the
Lee article,the power transfer is carried out at a fundamental frequency of 25kHz and a
third harmonic of 75kHz.Power transfer is spread over more than one frequency so as to
increase the power transfer.Single-frequency receivers are used to receiver power sent at
different frequencies.For example,if the targeted receiver is tuned at 25kHz,then
transmitting power at 25kHz will theoretically transfer power to the receiver coil tuned at
25kHz.The receiver coil tuned at 75kHz will be the non-targeted receiver and will not
receive any power.However,such an approach still has major limitations.A major
limitation among them,is that the residual power will be picked up by the non-targeted
receiver unless the chosen frequencies are widely separated and/or the quality factors of
the resonators are very high(and thus very expensive).The choice of widely separated
frequencies also leads to considerable technical and cost constraints on the power
transmitter design and the coil resonator design.In the Lee article,the fundamental
frequency(25kHz)and the third harmonic(75kHz)are added together and the sum of
these current components is generated by the power transmitter.However,independent
control of the power transfer rates at the two different frequencies cannot be easily
controlled.
Some key issues of using multi-frequency for wireless power transfer(WPT)
can be understood with reference to the WPT system layout shown in Fig.1.In Fig.1 the
transmitter T is assumed to be able to operate at more than one frequency.For simplicity,it
is assumed that the transmitter can be operated at two operating frequencies,f
1and f
2and
that the WPT system has two receivers,Aand B,tuned to receive power at frequencies f
1
and f
2,respectively.In this way,the power flow of each receiver can be controlled
separately by controlling the power source with the corresponding frequency.
For simplicity,the relay resonator R is not included in this part of the
analysis.The lumped circuit model of the two-receiver system with series compensation is
shown in Fig.2 and its circuit equations are listed below for one operating frequency.

and R

(R

N is the reactance in loop N which equals

The main power transfer path for each receiver is from the transmitter to the
receiver directly.If the receiver is tuned at the operating frequency of the transmitter,the
receiver is called the“targeted”receiver.Otherwise,it is called the“non-targeted”receiver.
Assume that Receiver-A is tuned to f
1,and Receiver-B is tuned to f
2.Since Receiver-A and
Receiver-B consist of resonators,they are also referred as Resonator-A and Resonator-B.
In the example of Fig.1,the main power transfer path for frequency f1 is T-
A because Receiver-A is the targeted receiver,and the power transfer path T-B-A is
traditionally blocked for the power flow of f
1in order to reduce the power reception in
Resonator-B at f
1.Thus,the example in Fig.1 can be considered as the combination of two
2-resonator systems.The electrical pioneer Nikola Tesla proved that the resonant
frequency of the receiver should equal the operating frequency in order to obtain maximum
power transfer efficiency for a2-resonator system.See the Lee article and U.S.Patent No.
1,119,732of N.Tesla entitled“Apparatus for transmitting electrical energy,”which issued
December1,1914.Therefore,the resonant frequency of Resonator-A should be equal to f
1
and the resonant frequency of Resonator-B should be equal to f
2.Thus,
For each receiver that behaves like a tuned resonator,it operates like a band
pass filter.Take Resonator-A as an example.Its current I
A(f)can be expressed as:
where
Q
A1=ω
1L
A/R
A is the Quality Factor of resonator-A at the resonant
frequency.Fig.3 shows the current variations according to the operating frequency f and
the quality factor Q
A1.It is important to note that the shape of the current-frequency
characteristic depends on the Quality Factor(or Q-factor)of the coil resonator.A sharp
current-frequency characteristic is only possible if the Q-factor is very high(say Q=1000
which is difficult to achieve at low cost).In general,this current-frequency characteristic
exhibits a bell-shaped curve with its peak at or near the resonant frequency.Therefore,if
the tuned resonant frequency of the non-target receiver is close to that of the target receiver,
the non-target receiver will also pick up some current and therefore unintentionally some
power.This unintentional power pickup by the non-target receiver is called“cross
interference.”On the other hand,if the Q-factor is very high and the current-frequency
curve is very sharp,a slight deviation of the operating frequency due to various reasons,
such as temperature drift of component values,may cause the power transfer to be reduced
drastically.
It is important to note that in the traditional approach the non-targeted
receiver resonator is normally not used because it is not the targeted receiver.However,it
has been demonstrated that a 3-coil wireless power transfer system(with one relay coil-
resonator)can achieve higher energy efficiency than the 2-coil counterpart under some
design conditions.See,X.Liu,“'Inductive power transfer using a relay coil',US patent
application 13/907,483,filed on31-May-2013.
From equations(2)and(3),the ratio between the currents in Resonator-A
and Resonator-B can be expressed as
Because the method allows not only the wireless power transfer at a single
frequency to the targeted receiver,but also multiple frequencies to multiple targeted
receivers,the following explanations are not restricted to single-frequency operation.
In order to quantify the cross interference introduced by the undesired
current in a targeted receiver,an index is proposed that is equal to the ratio of the
maximum power caused by the undesired current harmonic and the interested minimum
output power generated by the designated current harmonic in the receiver,which is a
predetermined value.For example,if the rated output power of a receiver is 5 W,and the
untargeted power needs to be limited to within 5% of the targeted power even when the
output power is as low as 1/10 of the rated power,then the interested minimum output
power of this receiver is 0.5 W.Assuming the general case of transmitting power at both of
the frequencies f
1and f
2in Fig.1,for Resonator-A,the index is
where P
A2max is the maximum power caused by the current of f
2and P
A1min is the interested
minimum power caused by the current of f
1in the equivalent load R
A.
Similarly,for Resonator-B,
where P
B1max is the maximum power caused by the current of f
1and P
B2min is the interested
minimum power caused by the current of f
2in the equivalent load R
B.It can be seen from
equations(7)and(8)that a large index implies that the cross interference is significant and
the situation is not desirable.
By utilizing equations(6),(7)and(8)the index can be re-written as
A design example is shown in connection with the system of Fig.4,wherein
the given parameters are:L
A=L

B2max=2.5W;P
A1min=P
B2min=0.25W;f

=600kHz;f
2=500kHz.The calculated values for the load resistance by solving
equations(9)and(10)are R
LA=1.49Ωand R
LB=1.24Ω.The load resistance values are
small in order to increase the quality factors of the receivers according to the previous
analysis.However,the small load resistance values might lead to low efficiency.In this
case,the overall efficiency is48.2%while the possible maximum efficiency of the system
is 59.6% if the load resistance values are optimized,which are R
LA=10.06Ω and R
LB=
1.76Ω.The load resistance and the operating frequencies could be further adjusted to
obtain higher power transfer efficiency,but there are always compromises to make
between the frequency difference and the efficiency(decided by operating frequencies and
load resistance values).Also,it should be noted that equations(9)and(10)are only valid
for a narrow frequency range in which the AC resistance of the resonator can be
considered as constant.
In addition to the difficulty of achieving high efficiency,the drawbacks of
the traditional method also include that:(1)it cannot remove the undesired current
substantially;(2)the indirect power transfer paths(for example T-A-B for Resonator-B in
the system in Fig.4)are not utilized,which is a waste of the power transfer capability of
the system;and(3)the interferences are highly sensitive to the resonant frequencies of the
resonators(i.e.the inductance and capacitance values of the resonator)due to the high
quality factors.
There are many practical applications in which indirect power paths should
be utilized in order to raise the power transfer capability.For example,for the system
shown in Fig.4,the direct path for Resonator-B is T-B and the indirect power path is T-A-
B.The power transfer efficiency of the system will be much lower if only the direct path is
used.It has been demonstrated by the inventors that the cross-coupling(or indirect)power
transfer paths can be utilized to further increase the capacity of power transfer at a single
frequency for a single load.See,C.K.Lee,W.X.Zhong and S.Y.R.Hui,“Effects of
Magnetic Coupling of Non-adjacent Resonators on Wireless Power Domino-Resonator
Systems”,IEEE Trans.Power Electronics,vol.27,no.4,pp.1905-1916,Apr.2012
Summary of the Invention
The present invention is related to a method and apparatus for multi-
frequency wireless power transfer systems in which the wireless power can be transmitted
at one or more than one frequency through the wireless power transfer channel or channels
from the transmitter,and received by one or more receivers according to their specifically-
tuned frequencies.Auxiliary circuits comprising band-pass and/or band-stop circuits are
incorporated into the receiver circuits and optionally relay circuits so as to facilitate the
selection and enhancement of the wireless power transfer to the designated load without
causing significant cross interference due to the use of multi-frequency wireless power
flow control.
Receivers may consist of coils tuned at different resonant frequencies.If the
power transmitter transmits energy at the tuned frequency of the receiver,that receiver is
called the targeted receiver.Otherwise,it is called the non-targeted receiver.According to
the present invention,the non-targeted receiver is used as a relay resonator to enhance the
coupling,and therefore the power transfer,between the transmitter coil and the targeted
receiver coil.As a result the method and auxiliary circuits of the present invention add
advantages to WPT systems with multiple receivers because the non-targeted receiver
(which is not used traditionally)will be used as a relay resonator.
The novel feature of this invention is that multi-frequency wireless power
transmission is made possible for simultaneous power transfer to multiple targeted loads.
Unlike other methods that use different frequencies to select the power transfer to different
targeted loads,one unique feature of this invention is that the non-targeted receiver will
automatically act as a relay resonator to enhance(i)magnetic coupling and thus(ii)the
power transfer between the power transmitter and the targeted receiver.
A second novel feature of the present invention is that the chosen operating
frequencies for the tuned receivers need not be widely separated because the auxiliary
circuits consist of band-pass and/or band-stop filters which reduce any cross interference
from the non-targeted frequency.

Description of an Illustrative Embodiment of the Invention
According to the present invention,in order to utilize indirect power paths,
new auxiliary circuits are provided as shown in Fig.5.Assuming the tuned resonant
frequencies of Resonator-A and Resonator-B are f
1and f
2respectively,the functions of the
auxiliary circuit for the receivers are explained by means of the diagrams shown in Fig.6.
Figs.6A–6D show four types of auxiliary circuits to cover the use of shunt
resonant branches to bypass,and parallel resonant branches to block,the power flow of the
non-targeted frequency,for series-connected and parallel-connected loads in the receivers.
In the traditional approach,a receiver consists of a resonant inductor(L),a resonant
capacitor(C)and a load R connected in series with the L and C or in parallel with C.
Fig.6A shows an exemplary circuit that includes a shunt resonant branch to
bypass current at the non-targeted frequency for a series-connected load.This circuit
includes an auxiliary circuit(enclosed in the dotted box)for the coil of Receiver-A.The
coil inductance is L
A and the coil resistance is R
PA.For Receiver-A,f
1 is its targeted
frequency and f
2is its non-targeted frequency.In the auxiliary circuit for Receiver-A,the
resonant branch comprising L
2and C
2is designed to resonate at the frequency f
2so that it
acts as a shunt circuit to short-circuit(bypass)the current caused by power transmission at
frequency f
2.In this way,the current of the non-targeted frequency will circulate within a
closed loop.This special phenomenon offers two advantageous functions.
·First,if the transmitter is transmitting power at f
2,this current loop of f
2will act
as a relay loop resonator to enhance the magnetic coupling and power transfer
between the transmitter and Receiver-B(which has a targeted frequency of f
2).
Consequently,it provides an extra power flow path from the transmitter to
Receiver-B.
·Second,the circulating current of frequency f
2in the closed loop R
PA-L
A-C
A2-L
2-
C
2will not affect the load R
LA(which has its targeted frequency of f
1).
Note that the two capacitors CA1 and CA2are used to form parts of the
resonant circuit for the resonant frequency f
1 for the Receiver-A and that the shunt resonant
circuit is connected between the ground and the junction of CA1 and CA2.
In order to design the circuit of Fig.6A as Receiver-A,it is necessary for its
resonant frequency to be tuned at or near the targeted frequency f
1.With the help of the
equivalent circuit in Fig.7,the designs of the resonant inductors and capacitors can be
achieved.Fig.7 shows the two equivalent circuits of Fig.4–the one on the left for
frequency f
1 and the one on the right for frequency f
2.
At an operating frequency f
1,it is necessary to design the equivalent circuit
of Receiver-A in Fig.7 so that it receives power at the targeted frequency of f
1.At f
1,the
total impedance of the auxiliary circuit connected with the load R
LA will be equivalent to
that of a capacitance C
A1in series with an equivalent load resistance R
LA.The total
impedance of Receiver-A can be expressed as
From equation(13),the equivalent capacitor C’
A1can be calculated.Then
the inductance L
A and C’
A1can be designed so that the L
A-C’
A1branch forms a resonant
tank at or near its targeted resonant frequency of f
1,where
At f
2,L
2and C
2 will bypass the current of f
2,therefore Resonator-A is
equivalent to a repeater resonator with C
A2 as its compensating capacitor as shown in the
equivalent circuit on the right of Fig.7.
The design principle applied to Fig.6A can be applied to Fig.6B.The only
difference is that in Fig.6B,the load R
LA is connected across the capacitor C
A1.Again,L
2
and C
2are designed to form a bypass resonant tank for the non-targeted frequency f
2.Then
the circuit of Fig.6B can be transformed into the equivalent form shown in Fig.7.
Afterwards,the equations of the equivalent load R’
LA and the equivalent capacitor C’
A1
specific for the circuit of Fig.6B can be derived.From these equations,C’
A1can be chosen
with L
A to form a resonant tank at a frequency at or near its targeted frequency according to
equation(14).
Unlike the auxiliary circuits of Fig.6A and Fig.6B that use the series-
connected L
2and C
2as a band-pass filter to short the current of the non-targeted frequency,
those in Fig.6C and Fig.6D use the parallel-connected L
2and C
2as a band-stop filter to
block the current of the non-targeted frequency f
2from Receiver-A.Fig.6C has the load
R
LA connected in series with the capacitor C
A1,while Fig.6D has the load R
LA connected in
parallel with C
A1.Regardless of the series or parallel connection of the load,the design
methodology for the auxiliary circuits of Fig.6C and Fig.6D follow similar principles as
previously described.The auxiliary circuits can be transformed into the equivalent forms
of Fig.7.Then the equivalent load R’
LA and equivalent capacitance C’
A1equations can be
derived.L
A and C’
A1can be designed together to satisfy equation(14).
The design methodology for Receiver-B is the same as that for Receiver-A,
except that the targeted-frequency is f
2instead of f
1.
Basically,by replacing the loads in the proposed auxiliary circuits in Fig.6
with a short circuit,the auxiliary circuits can be applied to a relay resonator.Such a
resonator should be tuned to the multiple frequencies if they are used generally as relay
resonators.Fig.8A shows an example of a relay resonator which can operate with more
than one tuned frequencies.In this example,it is tuned to work at frequencies f
1 and f
2.
The two equivalent circuits for f
1 and f
2 are shown in Fig.8B.At f
1,the whole auxiliary
circuit indicated in the block has a capacitive impedance which can compensate L
R and
form a L-Cresonance at f
1.At f
2,L
2 and C
2 will be resonant and form a short circuit to by-
pass C
R1,thereby causing L
R and C
R2to form an L-Cresonance at f
2.
In order to demonstrate the principle of the invention,a 3-coil wireless
power transfer system was set up as shown in Fig.4.The Transmitter,Receiver-A and
Receiver-B were placed in a straight line in this example.For the straight system shown in
Fig.4,the indirect path T-A-B for Resonator-B is much more significant than the direct
path T-B in terms of the power transfer efficiency.Therefore,this indirect path should be
utilized.However,the indirect path T-B-A for Resonator-A has negligible effect since the
direct path T-A is highly efficient.Generally,if the indirect path for one of the receivers,
say B,is important,it implies the coupling between T-A(part of the path T-A-B)should be
stronger than that between T-B(direct path).For Resonator-A,the indirect path T-B-A is
weaker because the coupling between T-B(part of T-B-A)is already weaker than that
between T-A(direct path).Therefore,the indirect path T-B-A has much less contribution
for power transfer than the direct path T-A.
Based on the system in Fig.4,one auxiliary circuit is used in Resonator-A.
The parameters and the load resistance values are shown in the circuit diagram of the
system in Fig.9.The excitation voltage consisting of two frequencies(namely500kHz
and600kHz)is used to drive the transmitter coil.
TABLE I lists the calculated and experimental results with and without the
auxiliary circuit.From these results,the cross interference of the system with the proposed
auxiliary circuit is much reduced when compared with those without the auxiliary circuit.
With the rated output power,the power transfer efficiency(PTE)improvement is about
13%by applying the proposed auxiliary circuit.
TABLE I-COMPARISON BETWEEN CALCULATED AND EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS OF THE STRAIGHT WPT
SYSTEM WITH AUXILIARY CIRCUIT AND WITHOUT AUXILIARY CIRCUIT
Fig.10 shows the waveform of the input voltage of the system and its Fast
Fourier Transform(FFT).It is clear that the input voltage mainly includes two components
500kHz and 600kHz.TABLES II-IV show the output voltage waveform comparisons
between the systems with and without the proposed auxiliary circuit.

Based on these practical measurements,it can be concluded that the
auxiliary circuits are suitable for wireless power transfer systems with multi-frequency
operation.The auxiliary circuits reduce the cross-interference from the power of the non-
targeted frequency.At the same time,they improve the overall system energy efficiency.
One application example is to use the invention in the design of wireless
charging platform on which two or more types of loads are charged.If different types of
loads are assigned with different targeted frequencies,then the Non-Target Receiver can
still improve the coupling and power flow transfer between the Transmitter and the
Targeted Receiver.Take the wireless system of Fig.11 as an example in which the two
receivers are designed for respective targeted frequencies of f
1and f
2.This example can be
realized in the form of a wireless charging table on which multiple loads may be placed
and charged simultaneously.When multi-frequency power excitation is provided by the
Transmitter,both Receivers will receive power according to their respective targeted
frequencies.With the auxiliary circuit,Receiver A will act as a relay coil for enhancing the
power transfer for Receiver B.In this way the efficient power transfer range of the charger
is substantially extended.
While the invention has been particularly shown and described with
reference to preferred embodiments thereof,it will be understood by those skilled in the art
that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the
spirit and scope of the invention.
