Abstract :
A planar coil of multiple loops connected in series and in parallel is proposed for wireless power transfer (WPT). The current direction in each loop is mixed in forward and in reverse. The proposed coil gives uniform mutual inductance and enables simple impedance matching for free-positioning WPT.
