Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A wireless power transfer system includes a cavity resonator entirely surrounded by an electromagnetic wave shielding member having appropriate conductivity and frequency selectivity; at least one power reception unit; at least one power transmission unit; and at least one resonator (e.g., a resonant network). In an equivalent circuit of the wireless power transfer system from a power transmission circuit of the power transmission unit to a power reception circuit of the power reception unit, N (N≥2) resonators including the cavity resonator are connected in series via an inverter on a power transmission route from the power transmission circuit to the power reception circuit.
