Abstract :
A two-dimensional transmitting coil array is used to expand receiving area in wireless power transfer with magnetically coupled resonance and the effect of the array is discussed in this paper. The transmitting coil array has more than one resonant frequency due to mutual couplings between transmitting coils. Therefore, we propose a method of designing the receiving coil to keep high transmission efficiency in wider area. The computer analysis shows the improvement of transmission efficiency of the proposed method.
