Abstract :
In this paper, a novel method for omnidirectional wireless power transmission (OWPT) via magnetic resonant coupling is proposed. In the proposed OWPT, a pair of cross coil consists of two orthogonal loops with 90° feeding phase difference serve as the wireless power transmitter. Through both theoretical analyses and numerical simulations, it is shown that, rotating magnetic field is generated and wireless power is achieved on receiver moving around the transmitter. Then a cylindrical metamaterial slab with negative permeability is designed to improve the efficiency of the OWPT system, for the unique property of enhancing evanescent wave of metamaterials. The simulation results show that the efficiency of the OWPT can be significantly improved by the metamaterial slab.
