INTRODUCTION
Wireless charging techniques for Unmanned Aerial
Vehicles (UAVs) involve the transmission of power
from a ground-based charging station to the UAV
without the need for physical connectors or cables.
This technology enables efficient and convenient
recharging of UAVs, eliminating the need for
manual battery replacement or landing for
recharging.

PROBLEM STATEMENT

The problem statement is to develop efficient and

reliable wireless charging techniques for
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) that overcome
challenges in efficiency, range, safety, scalability,
and cost.

 WIRELESS POWER TRANSFER

• Wireless power transfer (WPT) techniques for UAVs involve the

transmission of electrical energy from a power source to the UAV
without the need for physical connectors or cables.
• These techniques use various technologies to transfer power over a
distance, enabling UAVs to be charged or powered remotely. There
are several commonly used wireless power transfer techniques for
UAVs .
 8

TYPES OF W.P.T
• Inductive Power Transfer is a technology that makes it possible to transfer
power and digital data without mechanical or electrical contact and opens
many possibilities to designers requiring mobile electrification systems that
depend on high speeds and absolute resistance to wear.
• Inductive Power Transfer uses state of the art engineering and design, and
combines Conductix-Wampfler's long experience in industrial applications.

• Inductive Power Transfer-Rail systems have a
protruding primary track arrangement, in which an E-
Pickup envelopes both track cables from several sides.

• The Wireless Charger 3.0 is a contactless, inductive

coupling system which provides automated, that is fully
intervention free, and efficient battery charging for
various kinds of vehicles.

Laser Power Transfer
• The term “LASER” stands for Light Amplification
by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.
• Lasers are a form of artificial light with a uniform
phase and wavelength.
• A core property of a laser is a low divergence angle
that spreads out very little as it projects out further
from its source.
QUESTION: WHICH COUNTRY

HAS MORE EVS?

Norway. The first country on the list

is Norway. Electric vehicles in this
country contribute to over 86% of
overall car sales. Norway has tax and
toll exemptions for EVs.

 Frequency Splitting Technique

• In the context of UAVs, refers to a method used to divide the

available radio frequency spectrum into different frequency bands
for different communication and control purposes.
• This technique allows multiple UAVs to operate simultaneously and
independently without interfering with each other's communication
signals.
 13

TYPES
• Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) is a digital modulation technique used in
digital cellular telephone and mobile radio communication. TDMA is one of two ways
to divide the limited spectrum available over a radio frequency (RF) cellular channel.
In simplest terms, TDMA enables multiple users to share the same frequency by
dividing each cellular channel into different time slots.
• Uses of TDMA, is used in cellular networks, digit, satellite communications, and
wireless LANs.

 Frequency-division multiple access (FDMA)

• FDMA a channel access method used in some multiple-access

protocols. FDMA allows multiple users to send data through a single 
communication channel, such as a coaxial cable or microwave beam, by
dividing the bandwidth of the channel into separate non-overlapping 
frequency.
• Users can send data through a subchannel by modulating it on a 
carrier wave at the subchannel's frequency. It is used in 
satellite communication systems and telephone trunklines.
 16

FDMA splits the total bandwidth into

multiple channels. Each ground station on
the earth is allocated a particular frequency
group (or a range of frequencies).

 RADIO FREQUENCY ENERGY HARVESTING

 Radio frequency (RF) energy harvesting is a technique that involves capturing

and converting ambient radio frequency signals into usable electrical energy.
RF energy harvesting typically involves the following steps:
 Antenna Reception: A specialized antenna is used to capture the ambient RF
signals present in the environment. The antenna should be designed to resonate
at the desired frequency range to effectively capture the RF energy.
 18

 Rectification: The captured RF signals are then fed into a rectifying circuit, often using a
diode-based rectifier. The rectifier converts the alternating current (AC) from the antenna into
direct current (DC).
 Uses:
 Power supply systems
 Electronics and electronic devices
 Battery charging
 Industrial applications
 19

CONCLUSION
Wireless charging techniques for UAVs hold the
potential to revolutionize the way these vehicles are
deployed and operated. They enable extended flight
durations, reduce downtime for recharging, and
enhance the overall autonomy of UAVs, making
them more suitable for various applications such as
surveillance, delivery services, and inspection tasks.
