Two-Inductor Canonical Third-Order Resonators and Application in Wireless Power Transfer
摘要
In this work, we introduce and analyze the complete set of four two-inductor, one-capacitor (2L-1C) canonical third-order active resonators and validate their operation by means of circuit simulations and experiment results. In two of these resonators, a voltage-controlled negative resistor is used to induce local activity (critical stability) while in the other two, a current-controlled negative resistor is needed. An application of these networks to near-field wireless power transfer (WPT) is demonstrated by replacing either one inductor or the two inductors with a linear transformer coupled to a load resistor in two different circuit topologies. The two topologies are designed to operate at 125kHz and 1MHz, respectively, and their functionality is experimentally verified.
