This paper presents a system for simultaneous wireless power and data transfer (SWPDT) over a single inductive link. We design the frequency-splitting inductive link to address the trade-off between high power transfer efficiency (PTE) and high data rate (DR). An active rectifier is designed for high power conversion efficiency. Forward data commun...

... power is available at two frequency splitting points [22], not at the resonant frequency. In this paper, we use the series-parallel resonance model to briefly illustrate the link characteristics of the frequency-splitting-based inductive coupling. A general circuit diagram of a series-parallel inductive link for the WPT system is shown in Fig. 1(a), where R L1 and R L2 are the parasitic resistances of inductors L 1 and L 2 respectively, and C 1 and C 2 are the resonant capacitors. When the coupling coefficient k=0, the resonant frequency ω 0 ...

... The hysteresis voltage of the hysteresis comparator is designed to be larger than the output ripple of the envelope, which is important to reduce the BER of the demodulation [17]. Moreover, the appropriate loop bandwidth needs to be set in the circuit design to support high data rate demodulation without affecting the envelope output. As shown in Fig. 10 is the simulation result of the loop gain and phase bode diagram under the PVT variation, the feedback loop always satisfies phase margin (PM)>65° and the DC gain is greater than 54dB, which can maintain the frequency stability and closed-loop feedback accuracy over a wide range of input variations. This is essential for our ASK ...

Wireless power and data transmission (WPDT) solutions for medical implants are highly desired. However, achieving a high-power transmission efficiency and data rate simultaneously over an inductive link remains a significant challenge. This paper presents an innovative WPDT circuit that incorporates additional MOSFETs with an inductor in a Class-E power amplifier (PA), achieving amplitude-shift keying (ASK) modulation to address this issue. Firstly, the efficiency of the inductive power transmission link and Class-E PA was analyzed, providing design insights. Then, leveraging the insights, the proposed circuit was designed in such a way that it could effectively switch between two load networks to maintain high transfer efficiency for ASK modulation. Based on the load networks, the relationship between introducing the inductor’s value and the data modulation index (MI) was derived to help achieve the desired high-power transmission efficiency. Additionally, the design and calculation of the proposed circuit are also presented. Finally, the proposed circuit was validated through simulations and experiments, demonstrating a power delivery to a load of 84.1 mW with a power transmission efficiency of 70.8% at a data rate and carrier frequency of 3 Mbps and 16 MHz, respectively. Furthermore, the bit error rate (BER) is less than 10−6 with an MI of 10%.
