Abstract

Wireless power transfer (WPT) is the method to transfer power from the source to load without the use of cables or wires. There are different ways of WPT which can be broadly classified as radiative and non-radiative. The broad category of radiative WPT is microwave whose working frequency is in GHz and light waves or laser having a working frequency in THz. In non-radiative WPT, the transfer of power is basically through magnetic coupling of the transmitter and receiver coils where the maximum power transfer happens at a particular resonant frequency. Inductive and resonant inductive coupling are the two broad categories of non-radiative WPT having a working frequency ranging in Hz-MHz and MHz-GHz, respectively. Since microwaves are less prone to scattering and conversion of microwave energy to electrical energy and vice-versa is relatively easier, microwave WPT is an efficient way of radiative power transfer. The research on different ways of WPT is presented; their drawbacks and future prospective are presented in the paper.
