Wireless power transfer software with real-time efficiency measurements

Keysight Technologies has introduced a wireless power transfer analysis option for its E5072A, E5061B, and E5063A ENA series network analysers. With this software option, Keysight claims, the ENA Series network analysers are now able to effectively address the needs of emerging wireless power transfer (WPT) markets.

A key factor in designing WPT devices is the performance of the power transfer efficiency between coupled coils and resonators. Therefore, the ability to characterise these components and measure power transfer efficiency in real-time is paramount. This WPT analysis software option provides that capability with its arbitrary load impedance setting.

Another key feature of the software is its ability to enable E5072A, E5061B and E5063A ENA Series network analyser users to perform advanced 2D/3D simulation. Doing so allows them to visualise the dependency of load impedance in wireless power transfer systems.
