Abstract

Nonidentical current control methods for 2- and 3-D omnidirectional wireless power systems are described. The omnidirectional power transmitter enables ac magnetic flux to flow in all directions and coil receivers to pick up energy in any position in the proximity of the transmitter. It can be applied to wireless charging systems for low-power devices such as radio-frequency identification devices and sensors. Practical results on 2-D and 3-D systems have confirmed the omnidirectional power transfer capability.
