Abstract:
A resonance power transfer system and a method for tracking resonant impedance in the resonance power transfer system are provided. An apparatus for tracking resonant impedance in a resonance power transfer system may include: a load sensor configured to detect the impedance of a load connected to a target device that receives resonance power; a target reflection signal detector configured to detect a reflection signal corresponding to the resonance power; a target impedance tracking unit configured to track the resonant impedance by adjusting a determination factor of a resonant frequency; and a target control unit configured to control the tracking of the resonant impedance based on whether there is a change of the impedance of the load, the reflection signal is detected, or both.
Abstract:
Provided are a method and apparatus for controlling a resonance bandwidth in a wireless power transmission system. The apparatus may include a source resonator to transfer an electromagnetic energy to a target resonator, and a source resonance bandwidth setting unit to set a resonance bandwidth of the source resonator.
Abstract:
A wireless power transmission apparatus using near field focusing is provided. The wireless power transmission apparatus may include a source unit including a source resonator that transmits power wirelessly to a target apparatus, and a near field focusing unit to focus a near field of a magnetic field radiated in an omni-direction from the source resonator onto the target apparatus.
