Abstract
This paper proposes a design principle for reactance compensation circuit for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) inductive power transfer (IPT) where the primary side employs a coil array to send power to a receiving coil array located at the secondary side. Delivering wireless power over multiple streams, MIMO topology is an effective approach to relax strict burdens on system components in high-power IPT applications. An important requirement in MIMO topology is a method to mitigate cross-coupling inside the coil arrays so that load-independent constant-current and constant-voltage can be realized in the same fashion as conventional single-input single-output IPT. Based on transfer matrix analysis, this paper proposes a design principle indicating that passive compensation circuit should implement the negative of the cross-coupling’s reactance matrix to cancel it in the reactance domain. The proposed design is independent of the transmission distance, applicable to MIMO IPT systems at arbitrary scale and does not require the coil arrays to employ any decoupling structure. Full-wave electromagnetic simulations with $3\times 2$ MIMO and experiments with $2\times 2$ MIMO are provided to verify effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed scheme.
