Hello guys. I'm working on a power transmitter. The transmitter will be an series LC drived by a full-bridge and a pulse-skip controller. The L will be the transmition coil. This appear to be working fine.

My problem is at the receiver. I tryed a parallel LC with a lamp in paralel. It worked. But I wanna to power a small PC, so I need to rectificate the power and charge a capacitor with DC.

I tryed a recitifier in parallel but it appear to not work. I think is because this is changing the ressonant mode of the receiver LC because its not a resistive load.

My idea is to use a PFC boost to charge this capacitor. The input of the PFC in parallel with the receiver LC, so any load will appear resistive to the LC. But this have some problens too. The PFC need to run at least 10x faster then the ressonant frequency of the transmitter.

Do you have some sugestion?

Thanks.
Grégory.

Here's the basic rectification circuit for a wireless receiver. Note that the four diodes have to be very fast diodes, not your standard mains type. The parallel LC on the left is your receiver coil and resonant capacitor.

This circuit doesn't work so well.. I think because the low power factor of a charging capacitor.

My simulations suggest inductively coupling to the receiver circuit with a step down works reasonably well. If you just take off the LC circuit it tends to draw too much current and kills the resonance.

If you do a step down, you can match the impedance more easily.

Hi Gregory
This circuit might work, it doubles the voltage, which you might not want...

I think you are right. I will do some simulation here.

a voltage converter of a type used in energy harvesting would be a good starting point...

maybe you can use the same frequency and get better efficiency?

Yes, I think it must work from theory. Maybe your load is just not matched. eg. you need a higher voltage, lower current load.

I just can't see how the capacitor and diodes will not interfere on the LC.
