Electromagnetic interference shielding effects in wireless power transfer using magnetic resonance coupling for board-to-board level interconnection

In this paper, we present the analysis of electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding effects of wireless power transfer (WPT) using magnetic resonance coupling for board-to-board level interconnection. Board-to-board WPT consists of source coil, receiver coil, and load which are manufactured on printed circuit board (PCB). The coil is expressed as a simple equivalent circuit model, of which the components are calculated using the physical dimensions of the coil. It is verified that the results of model estimation in both frequency- and time-domain show a good correlation with simulated and measured results under 1GHz. Voltage transfer ratio (VTR) of board-to-board WPT was achieved to be 0.49. In addition, EMI shielding effects in WPT with materials such as ferrite and metal film is analyzed using verified model. The shielding effects of each film in WPT are compared by observing their magnetic field distribution.
