ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVE RADIATION-BASED WIRELESS POWER TRANSMITTER AND WIRELESS POWER TRANSFER SYSTEM USING HIGH GAIN ANTENNA AND BEAM FORMING AND STEERING TECHNOLOGY
First Claim
1. A wireless power transmitter comprising:
- a wireless power transmitting antenna including a radiation patch portion formed by arraying a plurality of radiation patches which radiate electromagnetic waves;
a phase shifter which adjusts a phase of the wireless power transmitting antenna;
a power divider connected to the phase shifter and configured to distribute a voltage which passes through the phase shifter and is applied to the plurality of radiation patches; and
a control unit which controls the phase shifter to adjust a radiation direction of the electromagnetic waves radiated from the wireless power transmitting antenna or individually adjusts the voltage applied from the power divider to the plurality of radiation patches together with the radiation direction adjustment of the electromagnetic waves by the phase shifter so as to adjust a phase shift width of the electromagnetic waves.

Abstract
The described technology relates to a wireless power transmitting antenna and a wireless power transmitter having the same for wirelessly supplying power to a wireless sensor module implanted inside a human body to monitor a bio-signal, a wireless sensor node in a wireless sensor network which is difficult for a human to access, a personal handheld terminal such as a smartphone or the like, indoor and outdoor wireless lightings, etc. The wireless power transmitting antenna includes a ground layer, a dielectric layer disposed to be spaced a predetermined distance from the ground layer to form an air layer disposed therebetween, and a radiation patch portion formed on the dielectric layer and configured to radiate electromagnetic waves, and thereby loss of the electromagnetic waves is reduced by forming low permittivity and the gain of the radiation patch portion is increased without additionally configuring a separate dielectric layer.
