Abstract
Described herein are improved configurations for a resonator enclosure for wireless high power transfer that includes a support plate, a sheet of good conductor positioned on one side of the support plate, a separator piece for maintaining a separation distance between the resonator and the sheet of good conductor, and a cover of a non-lossy material covering the resonator, the separator, the sheet of good conductor and attached to the support plate, wherein the size of the sheet of good conductor is larger than the size of the resonator.
Claims29
A resonator enclosure for wireless high power transfer comprising:
- a support plate;
- a sheet of high conductivity material positioned on one side of the support plate;
- a separator piece for maintaining a separation distance between the resonator and the sheet of high conductivity material;
- and
- a cover of a non-lossy material covering the resonator, the separator, the sheet of high conductivity material and attached to the support plate;
- wherein a size of the sheet of high conductivity material is larger than the size of the resonator.
A packaged resonator for wireless high power transfer comprising:
- a rectangular support plate having a bottom side and a top side;
- a rectangular sheet of high conductivity material positioned on the bottom side of the support plate,
- a high Q resonator;
- a separator piece for maintaining a constant separation distance between the resonator and the sheet of high conductivity material;
- and
- a cover of a non-lossy material covering the resonator, the separator, and the sheet of high conductivity material and attached to the support plate;
- wherein a width and a length of the sheet of high conductivity material is larger than the width and the length of the resonator.
