Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) technology is gaining global popularity. However, in some applications, data transmission is also required to monitor the load states. This paper presents an alternative wireless power and data transmission method via the shared inductive link. With the method, the system presents three characteristics: (1) controllability and stability of the output voltage; (2) miniaturization in volume of the system; (3) decoupled transmission of power and data. The output voltage control is realized by a non-inductive hysteresis control method. In particular, data is transferred when the power transmission is blocked (i.e., the hysteresis switch is off). The interference between power and data transmission is very small. The signal to noise ratio (SNR) performance which is relevant to the interference from power transfer to data transfer and data transfer capacity, is studied and optimized. Both simulation and experimental results have verified the proposed method.
This paper studies the complex bifurcation phenomena of a voltage-controlled Buck-inverter cascade system. A state-flow chart is drawn to illustrate the complex relations among the linear operating modes. Combined with the state transition function of each mode, the time response of the system can be obtained. For period-one steady state, the periodic mapping function and its fixed point are further derived, on the basis of which the Jacobi matrix is developed and its maximum eigenvalue is analyzed to understand the bifurcation diagram. By globally analyzing the state space using this cell mapping method, the coexistence of attractors is revealed in the Buck-inverter system. All theoretical results have been verified experimentally on a prototype system. The results obtained can be used for guiding the design and analysis of the Buck-inverter system. The analyzing method can be helpful for studying other power electronics systems with compound topologies.
