description Abstract High-efficiency medium-range wireless power transfer using magnetically coupled resonators requires a wireless data link between the contactless coils to regulate power. Multiplexing the power transfer channel as the information channel is a cost-effective solution for the communication. However, existing technologies cannot transmit data across the medium-range magnetically coupled resonators channel without substantially affecting power transfer. Here we show a power-electronics-converters based wireless power and information dual transfer system in which the information signals are modulated on one dc side of the inverter/rectifier, and transmitted through a conventional medium-range wireless power transfer system, and then demodulated on the other dc side. Using the frequency mixer characteristic of the inverter/rectifier, information is modulated onto the sideband of the power carrier and transmitted through the medium-range channel. Finally, we prototyped a 6.78 MHz system capable of transferring 45 W power across a one-meter distance with 62% efficiency and 60 kb/s bitrate for half-duplex communication.
