Abstract:
A novel architecture for Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) module using
monolithic components on GaN is presented in this paper. The design of
such a WPT module receives DC power from solar panels, consists of
photonic power converter (PPC), beamforming antenna, low pass filter,
input matching network, rectifier, output matching network and logic circuit
(off-chip) which are all integrated on a GaN chip. Our WPT components
show excellent simulated performance, for example, our novel beam
forming antenna and multiple port wideband antenna have a gain of 8.7 dB
and 7.3 dB respectively. We have added a band pass filter to the rectifier
output which gives two benefits to the circuit. The first one is filtering
circuit will remove unwanted harmonics before collecting DC power and
second is filter will boost the efficiency of rectifier by optimizing the load
impedance. Our proposed rectifier has RF-DC conversion efficiency of
74% and 67% with beam-forming antenna and multiple port wide band
antenna respectively. Our WPT module is designed to charge a rechargeable
battery (3 V and 1 mA) of a radio module which will be used between two
antennas in future 5G networks. We believe our proposed WPT module
architecture is unique and it is applicable to both microwave and millimeter
wave systems such as 6G.
