DESIGN OF A WIRELESS CAPACITIVE POWER TRANSFER SYSTEM [PDF]
Abstract This paper presents the design of a capacitive power transfer (CPT) system by using the Class-E amplifier approach. The Class-E amplifier approach is chosen to be adopted since it produces high efficiency as close as to 100%, theoretically.

Optimizing the Power Output for a Capacitive Wireless Power Transfer System with $N$ receivers [PDF]
Capacitive wireless power transfer from one transmitter to multiple receivers is discussed and analytically solved for the realization of maximum power transfer to uncoupled receivers. Simple closed-form expressions for the optimal terminating loads and the corresponding power output and transducer gain are determined by applying the maximum power ...

Constant capacitive wireless power transfer at variable coupling [PDF]
Capacitive wireless power transfer uses the varying electric field for wireless power transfer from a transmitter plate to a receiver plate. The amount of power transferred to the load and the system efficiency are dependent of the coupling between transmitter and receiver.

Optimum Receiver-Side Tuning Capacitance for Capacitive Wireless Power Transfer [PDF]
This paper reveals the optimum capacitance value of a receiver-side inductor-capacitor (LC) network to achieve the highest efficiency in a capacitive power-transfer system. These findings break the usual convention of a capacitance value having to be chosen such that complete LC resonance happens at the operating frequency. Rather, our findings in this
