Popis: This paper presents a high-efficiency wireless power transfer (WPT) system that can charge multiple receivers (Rx’s) of various types. For system analysis, the transmitted power and received power levels are derived using the parameters of the resonators based on electro-magnetic (EM) resonance. Using the analysis results, the power customized resonator (PCR) not only for deriving sufficient output power from the transmitter (Tx) but also for appropriately distributing the received power to the various and multiple Rx’s is proposed. In addition to the PCR, the Tx unit is designed to work as a load-dependent voltage source using a differential Class-E power amplifier (PA) through a wide range of load impedances. Therefore, the Tx can naturally adapt to the required Tx power levels with a high efficiency corresponding to various Rx configurations without additional tunable circuits or adaptive control schemes. The WPT system, including the load-dependent voltage source for the Tx, full-bridge rectifiers for the Rx’s, and the proposed PCR, was designed for the 6.78 MHz frequency band. The proposed system is validated for use with multiple mobile devices by conducting experiments with nine charging cases using three types of Rx’s. For all cases, high system efficiencies of 70.7–85.5% were maintained over received power levels of 8.6–45.7 W at a charging distance of 30 mm, and each of the three types of Rx’s were experimentally verified to receive sufficient power.
