Abstract

The wireless efficiency of the strongly coupled magnetic resonance (SCMR) method greatly depends on the Q-factors of the TX and RX resonators, which in turn are strongly dependent on the geometrical parameters of the resonators. This paper analytically derives the equations that can be used to design optimal spiral resonators for SCMR systems. In addition, our analysis illustrates that under certain conditions globally maximum efficiency can be achieved.
