In this study, we examined the microwave power transfer to sensors in car engine compartment. First, we calculated the transmission efficiency in free space. We changed a transmission distance, and confirmed a theoretical limit value of the transmission efficiency in free space. Second, we simulated the transmission efficiency using the cuboid engine compartment model. From simulation results, we confirmed that transmission efficiency was increased by the multiple reflections and that transmission efficiency was decreased by the engine between transmitting (Tx) and receiving (Rx) antennas. Finally, we simulated transmission efficiency using the real engine compartment model. Changing the direction of the antennas, and obtained 2.8% of the highest transmission efficiency in the required antenna position. In addition, changing the position of the Tx antenna, we obtained 7.2% of the highest transmission efficiency.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
