 Portable electronic devices are very popular these
days. As the usage of portable electronic devices is
increasing, it demands for a longer battery life.
 Batteries need to recharged or replaced
periodically.
 To overcome this, concept of wireless battery
charging was developed.
 So there is a need to make a proto-type device that
converts microwave signal to DC power.
•A battery charger is a device used to put energy
into rechargeable battery by forcing electric
current through it.
•The charging protocol depends on the size and
type of the battery being charged
•Some charges might be having temperature or
voltage control sensors to adjust the charging
current and cut off at the end of charge
 Design overview

 Transmitter
•This design includes a
power transmitter.
•Transmitter consists of an
oscillator amplifier and an
antenna.
•At a pre-determined
frequency i.e., 900MHz,
oscillations are generated.

transmission.
Output Power: 3 Watts

Operating Frequency: 900 MHz

Connector Type: SMA – Female

Output Impedance: 50 Ω

Table.1 The specification of the transmitter

  To charge a battery, high power DC signal is required.
 To choose appropriate antenna, two factors are to be
taken into consideration:
1. Impedance of antenna
2. Gain of antenna

 Impedance of the antenna should match with the

output impedance of the power transmitter.
 Higher antenna gains yields to a better gain result, but
also increases size and cost of the antenna.
 Taking the above design specification into
consideration yagi antennas are best suited.
 • It is a directional antenna
consisting of a driven element
(typically dipole) and additional
parasitic elements(usually
reflectors and one or more
directors)

• Reflector element is slightly

longer than the driven dipole
whereas directors are little bit
shorter. This design achieves a
very substantial increase in
antenna’s directionality and gain
compared to simple dipole

• Highly directional antenna’s such

as yagi uda antennas are
commonly referred to as beam
antennas due to there higher
gain.
 Receiver
•Block
diagram of a receiver is as
shown in the figure

•It
consists of receiving antenna,
rectifier circuit and load(AAA
battery)

•Receiver
main purpose is to
charge AAA battery.

•Simple battery charging theory is

to run current through the battery,
and apply the voltage difference
between the terminals to the
battery to reverse the chemical
process.
 A full wave rectifier is used due to its simplicity and
efficiency in converting the AC signals.
 The full wave rectifier consists of four schottky
diodes.
 Schottky diodes are used because of their very low
turn-on voltage and operating frequency of
900Mhz.

A. Multiple Rectifiers
By using multiple rectifiers more power gets
rectified. However this design will need a spiral
antenna array which is difficult to design
B. High Gain Parabolic antenna
Parabolic antenna will be able to transmit power
from transmitter with much higher gain and
receive with greater power than yagi antenna.
Disadvantage is parabolic antenna are size and
fixed-direction antenna.
Advantages:
1. Portable
2. Relatively lesser cost
3. Saves time

Disadvantage:
1. Less efficient
 Power loss and efficiency are the major
problems for this design.
 The characteristics of diodes must be such
that maximum rectification is possible with
minimum loss.
 Time varying current and voltage relationship
at the physical point of the diode in the cavity
determines loss in the diode hence the dc
efficiency. So, it is essential to limit this loss.
