WIRELESS CHARGING OF MOBILE PHONES USING MICROWAVES
CHAPTER 1 INTRODUTION
1.1OVERVIEW
With mobile phones becoming a basic part of life, the recharging of mobile phone batteries has always been a problem. The mobile phones vary in their talk time and battery standby according to their manufacturer and batteries. All these phones irrespective of their manufacturer and batteries have to be put to recharge after the battery has drained out. The main objective of this current proposal is to make the recharging of the mobile phones independent of their manufacturer and battery make. A new proposal has been made so as to make the recharging of the mobile phones is done automatically as you talk in your mobile phone. This is done by use of microwaves. The microwave signal is transmitted from the transmitter along with the message signal using special kind of antennas called slotted wave guide antenna at a frequency 2.45 GHz. There are minimal additions, which have to be made in the mobile handsets, which are the addition of a sensor, a rectenna, and a filter. With the above setup, the need for separate chargers for mobile phones is eliminated and makes charging universal. Thus the more you talk, the more your mobile phone will be charged. With this proposal the manufacturers would be able to remove the talk time and battery standby from their phone specifications. Thus this seminar successfully demonstrates a novel method of using the power of the microwave to charge the mobile phones without the use of wired chargers. Thus this method provides great advantage to the mobile phone users to carry their phones anywhere even if the place is devoid of facilities for charging. A novel use of the rectenna and a sensor in a mobile phone could provide a new dimension in the revelation of mobile phone With mobile phones becoming a basic part of life, the recharging of mobile phone batteries has always been a problem.

1.2 ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION

Far field methods achieve longer ranges, often multiple kilometer ranges, where the distance is much greater than the diameter of the device(s). The main reason for longer ranges with radio wave and optical devices is the fact that electromagnetic radiation in the far-field can be made to match the shape of the receiving area (using high directivity antennas or well-collimated laser beam) thereby delivering almost all emitted power at long ranges. The maximum directivity for antennas is physically limited by diffraction.
1.2.1 BEAMED POWER, SIZE, DISTANCE, AND EFFICIENCY

The dimensions of the components may be dictated by the distance from transmitter to receiver, the wavelength and the Rayleigh criterion or diffraction limit, used in standard radio frequency antenna design, which also applies to lasers. In addition to the Rayleigh criterion Airy's diffraction limit is also frequently used to determine an approximate spot size at an arbitrary distance from the aperture. The Rayleigh criterion dictates that any radio wave, microwave or laser beam will spread and become weaker and diffuse over distance; the larger the transmitter antenna or laser aperture compared to the wavelength of radiation, the tighter the beam and the less it will spread as a function of distance (and vice versa). Smaller antennae also suffer from excessive losses due to side lobes. However, the concept of laser aperture considerably differs from an antenna. Typically, a laser aperture much larger than the wavelength induces multi-moded radiation and mostly collimators are used before emitted radiation couples into a fiber or into space. Ultimately, beamwidth is physically determined by diffraction due to the dish size in relation to the wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation used to make the beam. Microwave power beaming can be more efficient than lasers, and is less prone to atmospheric attenuation caused by dust or water vapor losing atmosphere to vaporize the water in contact. Then the power levels are calculated by combining the above parameters together, and adding in the gains and losses due to the antenna characteristics and

of the medium through which the
radiation passes. That process is known as calculating a link budget.
1.2.3 LASER METHOD

In the case of electromagnetic radiation closer to visible region of spectrum (10s of microns (um) to 10s of nm), power can be transmitted by converting electricity into a laser beam that is then pointed at a solar cell receiver. This mechanism is generally known as "power beaming" because the power is beamed at a receiver that can convert it to usable electrical energy. Advantages of laser based energy transfer compared with other wireless methods are: collimated monochromatic wavefront propagation allows narrow beam crosssection area for energy transmission over large ranges. compact size of solid state lasers-photovoltaics semiconductor diodes fit into small products. no radio-frequency interference to existing radio communication such as Wi-Fi and cell phones. control of access; only receivers illuminated by the laser receive power. Its drawbacks are: Laser radiation is hazardous, even at low power levels it can blind people and animals, and at high power levels it can kill through localized spot heating Conversion to light, such as with a laser, is inefficient Conversion back into electricity is inefficient, with photovoltaic cells achieving 40%50% efficiency. Note that conversion efficiency is rather higher with monochromatic light than with insolation of solar panels). Atmospheric absorption, and absorption and scattering by clouds, fog, rain, etc., causes losses, which can be as high as 100% loss As with microwave beaming, this method requires a direct line of sight with the target. The laser "powerbeaming" technology has been mostly explored in military weapons and aerospace applications and is now being developed for commercial andconsumer electronics Low-Power applications. Wireless energy transfer system using laser for consumer space has to satisfy Laser safety requirements standardized under IEC 60825.

Geoffrey Landis is one of the pioneers of solar power satellite] and laser-based transfer of energy especially for space and lunar missions. The continuously increasing demand for safe and frequent space missions has resulted in serious thoughts on a futuristic space elevator that would be powered by lasers. NASA's space elevator would need wireless power to be beamed to it for it to climb a tether. NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center has demonstrated flight of a lightweight unmanned model plane powered by a laser beam. This proof-of-concept demonstrates the
WIRELESS CHARGING OF MOBILE PHONES USING MICROWAVES feasibility of periodic recharging using the laser beam system and the lack of need to return to ground.
1.2.3 MICROWAVE METHOD

Power transmission via radio waves can be made more directional, allowing longer distance power beaming, with shorter wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation, typically in the microwave range. A rectenna may be used to convert the microwave energy back into electricity. Rectenna conversion efficiencies exceeding 95% have been realized. Power beaming using microwaves has been proposed for the transmission of energy from orbiting solar power satellites to Earth and the beaming of power to spacecraft leaving orbit has been considered. Power beaming by microwaves has the difficulty that for most space applications the required aperture sizes are very large due todiffraction limiting antenna directionality. For example, the 1978 NASA Study of solar power satellites required a 1km diameter transmitting antenna, and a 10 km diameter receiving rectenna, for a microwave beam at 2.45 GHz.[32] These sizes can be somewhat decreased by using shorter wavelengths, although short wavelengths may have difficulties with atmospheric absorption and beam blockage by rain or water droplets. Because of the "thinned array curse," it is not possible to make a narrower beam by combining the beams of several smaller satellites. For earthbound applications a large area 10 km diameter receiving array allows large total power levels to be used while operating at the low power density suggested for human electromagnetic exposure safety. A human safe power density of 1 mW/cm2 distributed across a 10 km diameter area corresponds to 750 megawatts total power level. This is the power level found in many modern electric power plants. Following World War II, which saw the development of high-power microwave emitters known as cavity magnetrons, the idea of using microwaves to transmit power was researched. By 1964 a miniature helicopter propelled by microwave power had been demonstrated. Power beaming by microwaves has the difficulty that for most space applications the required aperture sizes are very large due todiffraction limiting antenna directionality.

1.3 THE ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM

Spectrum results, when a white light is pass through a prism it is separated out into all the colours of the rainbow. This is the visible spectrum. white light is a mixture of all colours. Black is NOT a color; it is what you get when all the light is taken away.
Fig 1.3: The Electromagnetic spectrum Some physicists pretend that light consists of tiny particles which they call photons. They travel at the speed of light. The speed of light is about 300,000,000 meters per second. When they hit something they might bounce off, go right through or get absorbed. What happens is depends on a bit and how much energy they have. If they bounce off something and then go into eye will cause to see the things they have bounced 7 ECE-A/2012-13/ PIET, JAIPUR
WIRELESS CHARGING OF MOBILE PHONES USING MICROWAVES off. Some things like glass and Perspex will let them go through. These materials are transparent. Black objects absorb the photons so it results not be able to see black things. This is the problem has to be sorted out. These poor old physicists get a little bit confused when they try to explain why some photons go through a leaf, some are reflected, and some are absorbed. They say that it is because they have different amounts of energy. Other physicists pretend that light is made of waves. These physicists measure the length of the waves and this helps them to explain what happens when light hits and leaves. The light with the longest wavelength (red) is absorbed by the green stuff (chlorophyll) in the leaves. There is green light, this is allowed to pass right through or is reflected. (Indigo and violet have shorter wavelengths than blue light.) It is easy to explain some of the properties of light by pretending that it is made of tiny particles called photons and it is easy to explain other properties of light by pretending that it is some kind of wave. The visible spectrum is just one small part of the electromagnetic spectrum. These electromagnetic waves are made up of two parts. The first part is an electric field. The second part is a magnetic field. So they are called as electromagnetic waves. The two fields are at right angles to each other. The Various other parts of the emf spectrum and their location can be seen diagrammatically as shown below.
1.4 ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES

Electromagnetic waves can be imagined as a self-propagating transverse oscillating wave of electric and magnetic fields. This diagram shows a plane linearly polarised wave propagating from left to right. An electromagnetic wave is a wave in space with electric and magnetic parts. Electromagnetic radiation is classified into types according to the frequency of the wave. These types include, in order of increasing frequency, radio waves, microwaves, terahertz radiation, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays and gamma rays. In some technical contexts the entire range is referred to as just light. Electromagnetic waves can be imagined as a self-propagating transverse oscillating wave of electric and magnetic fields. This diagram shows a plane linearly polarised wave propagating from left to right. An electromagnetic wave is a wave in space with electric and magnetic parts
Fig 1.4:EM wave
Microwaves are electromagnetic waves with wavelengths ranging from as long as one meter to as short as one millimeter, or equivalently, with frequencies between 300 MHz (0.3 GHz) and 300 GHz as shown in the Fig 1. This broad definition includes both UHF and EHF (millimeter waves), and various sources use different boundaries. In all cases, microwave includes the entire SHF band (3 to 30 GHz, or 10 to 1 cm) at minimum, with RF. Engineering often putting the lower boundary at 1 GHz (30 cm), and the upper around 100 GHz (3mm). Apparatus and techniques may be described qualitatively as "microwave" when the wavelengths of signals are roughly the same as the dimensions of the equipment, so that lumped element circuit theory is inaccurate. As a consequence, practical microwave technique tends to move away from the discrete resistors, capacitors, and inductors used with lower frequency radio waves. Instead, distributed circuit elements and transmissionline theory are more useful methods for design and analysis. Engineering often putting the lower boundary at 1 GHz (30 cm), and the upper around 100 GHz (3mm).
Fig 1.5: Lumped element circuit
Open-wire and coaxial transmission lines give way to waveguides and stripline, and lumped-element tuned circuits as shown in the Fig 2 are replaced by cavity resonators or resonant lines. Effects of reflection, polarization, scattering, diffraction and atmospheric absorption usually associated with visible light are of practical significance in the study of microwave propagation. The same equations of electromagnetic theory apply at all frequencies. While the name may suggest a micrometer wavelength, it is better understood as indicating wavelengths very much smaller than those used in radio broadcasting. The boundaries between far infrared light, terahertz radiation, microwaves, and ultra-high
10
WIRELESS CHARGING OF MOBILE PHONES USING MICROWAVES frequency radio waves are fairly arbitrary and are used variously between different fields of study.
1.5 NEED AND PROCESSING OF MICROWAVES

EM wave posses some kind of energy with it. This repots explains about the usage of this valuable energy for recharging of mobile phones, becoming a basic part of life, to avoid the problem of charging the mobile phone batteries without electricity. The mobile phones vary in their talk time and battery standby according to their manufacturer and batteries. All these phones irrespective of their manufacturer and batteries have to be put to recharge after the battery has drained out. In this aspect a new proposal has been made so as to make the recharging of the mobile phones is done automatically while using the mobile phone. This is done by use of microwaves.

CHAPTER 2 WIRELESS CHARGING

Wireless charging is any of several methods of charging batteries without the use of cables or device-specific AC adaptors. Wireless charging can be used for a wide variety of devices including cell phones, laptop computers and MP3 players as well as larger objects, such as robots and electric cars.
2.1 DIFFERENT TYPES OF WIRELESS CHARGING

There are three methods of wireless charging:
Inductive charging, radio charging Resonance charging. Capsitive charging

2.1.1 INDUCTIVE CHARGING
It is used for charging mid-sized items such as cell phones, MP3 players and PDAs. In inductive charging, an adapter equipped with contact points is attached to the device's back plate. When the device requires a charge, it is placed on a conductive charging pad, which is plugged into a socket.
2.1.1.1 ADVANTAGES Inductive charging carries a far lower risk of electrical shock, when compared with conductive charging, because there are no exposed conductors. The ability to fully enclose the charging connection also makes the approach attractive where water impermeability is required; for instance, inductive charging is used for implanted medical devices that require periodic or even constant external power, and for electric hygiene devices, such as toothbrushes and shavers, that are frequently used near or even in water. Inductive charging makes charging mobile devices more convenient; rather than having to connect a power cable, the device can be placed on a charge plate.
12
2.1.1.2 DISADVANTAGES One disadvantage of inductive charging is its lower efficiency and increased ohmic (resistive) heating in comparison to direct contact. Implementations using lower frequencies or older drive technologies charge more slowly and generate heat for most portable electronics, [excitation needed] the technology-is nonetheless commonly used in some electric toothbrushes and wet/dry electric shavers, partly for the advantage that the battery contacts can be completely sealed to prevent exposure to water. Inductive charging also requires drive electronics and coils that increase manufacturing complexity and cost.
2.1.2 RADIO CHARGING

It is used for charging items with small batteries and low power requirements, such as watches, hearing aids, medical implants, cell phones, MP3 players and wireless keyboard and mice. Radio waves are already in use to transmit and receive cellular telephone, television, radio and Wi-Fi signals. Wireless radio charging works similarly. A transmitter, plugged into a socket, generates radio waves. When the receiver attached to the device is set to the same frequency as the transmitter, it will charge the device's battery.
2.1.3 RESONANCE CHARGING

It is used for items that require large amounts of power, such as an electric car, robot, vacuum cleaner or laptop computer. In resonance charging, a copper coil attached to a power source is the sending unit. Another coil, attached to the device to be charged, is the receiver. Both coils are tuned to the same electromagnetic frequency, which makes it possible for energy to be transferred from one to the other. The method works over short distances (3-5 meters). The idea of wireless power transmission is not new. In 1899, Nikola Tesla wirelessly transmitted 100 million volts of electricity 26 miles to light 200 bulbs and run an electric motor.

CHAPTER 3 MICROWAVE REGION

3.1 MICROWAVE FREQUENCY BANDS
Microwaves are good for transmitting information from one place to another because microwave energy can penetrate haze, light rain and snow, clouds, and smoke. Shorter microwaves are used in remote sensing. These microwaves are used for clouds and smoke, these waves are good for viewing the Earth from space Microwave waves are used in the communication industry and in the kitchen as a way to cook foods. Designation Frequency range
L Band l to 2 GHz S Band 2 to 4 GHz C Band 4 to 8 GHz X Band 8 to 12 GHz K11 Band 12 to 18 GHz K Band 18 to 26 GHz Ka Band 26 to 40 GHz. Q Band 30 to 50 GHz U Band 40 to 60 GHz V Band 46 to 56 GHz W Band 56 to 100 GHz
The S band of the Microwave Spectrum is useful for wireless charging.
3.2 PROPERTIES OF MICROWAVE LINKS

Involve line of sight (LOS) communication technology. Affected greatly by environmental constraints, including rain fade. Have limited penetration capabilities. Sensitive to high pollen count. Signals can be degraded during Solar proton event. Have limited penetration capabilities.

3.3 ELECTRO MAGNETIC SPECTRUM
Fig 3.1: Electromagnetic spectrum
15
WIRELESS CHARGING OF MOBILE PHONES USING MICROWAVES The electromagnetic spectrum as shown in the Fig 3 is the range of all possible frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. The "electromagnetic spectrum" of an object is the characteristic distribution of electromagnetic radiation emitted or absorbed by that particular object. The electromagnetic spectrum extends from low frequencies used for modern radio to gamma radiation at the short-wavelength end, covering wavelengths from thousands of kilometers down to a fraction of the size of an atom. The long wavelength limit is the size of the universe itself, while it is thought that the short wavelength limit is in the vicinity of the Planck length, although in principle the spectrum is infinite and continuous. Some physicists pretend that light consists of tiny particles which they call photons. They travel at the speed of light. The speed of light is about 300,000,000 meters per second. When they hit something they might bounce off, go right through or get absorbed. What happens is depends on a bit and how much energy they have.

Microwave radiation is still associated with energy levels that are usually considered harmless except for people with pace makers. The frequency selection is another important aspect in transmission. Here we are going to use the S band of the Microwave Spectrum, which lies between 2-4GHz.We have selected the license free 2.45 GHz ISM band for our purpose. The Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) radio bands were originally reserved internationally for noncommercial use of RF electromagnetic fields for industrial, scientific and medical purposes. In recent years they have also been used for license-free error-tolerant
communications applications such as wireless LANs and Bluetooth.

CHAPTER 4 TRANSMITTER DESIGN

The Magnetron is a self-contained microwave oscillator that operates differently from the linear-beam tubes, such as the TWT and the klystron CROSSED-ELECTRON and MAGNETIC fields are used in the magnetron to produce the high-power output required in radar and communications equipment. The magnetron is classed as a diode because it has no grid. A magnetic field located in the space between the plate (anode) and the cathode serves as a grid. The plate of a magnetron does not have the same physical appearance as the plate of an ordinary electron tube. Since conventional inductive-capacitive (LC) networks become impractical at microwave frequencies, the plate is fabricated into a cylindrical copper block containing resonant cavities that serve as tuned circuits. The magnetron base differs considerably from the conventional tube base. The diameter leads that are carefully. The cathode and filament are at the center of the tube and are supported by the filament leads. The filament leads are large and rigid enough to keep the cathode and filament structure fixed in position. The output lead is usually a probe or loop extending into one of the tuned cavities and coupled into a waveguide or coaxial line. The plate structure, shown in Fig 4 is a solid block of copper. The cylindrical holes around its circumference are resonant cavities. A narrow slot runs from each cavity into the central portion of the tube dividing the inner structure into as many segments as there are cavities. Alternate segments are strapped together to put the cavities in parallel with regard to the output. The cavities control the output frequency. The straps are circular, metal bands that are placed across the top of the block at the entrance slots to the cavities. Since the cathode must operate at high power, it must be fairly large and must also be able to withstand high operating temperatures. It must also have good emission characteristics, particularly under return bombardment by the electrons. This is because most of the output power is provided by the large number of electrons that are emitted when high-velocity electrons return to strike the cathode. The cathode is indirectly heated and is constructed of a high-emission material. The open space magnetron base is short in length and has large

4.1 MAGNETRON
Magnetron is a high power microwave oscillator and it is used in microwave oven and radar transmitter. It is itself a special kind of vaccum tube that has permanent magnet in its constructions. This magnet is setup to affect the path of travel of electrons that are in transit from cathode to the plate. Magnetron is capable to deliver more power than reflex klystron or gunn diode. It is a high power oscillator and has high efficiency of 50% to 80%. Magnetron is a device which produces microwave radiation of radar application and microwaves. Magnetron functions as self-excited microwave oscillator. Crossed electron and magnetic fields are used to produce magnetron to produce the high power output required in radar equipment. These multi cavity devices are used in transmitters as pulsed or cw oscillators to produce microwave radiation. Disadvantage of magnetron is that it works only on fixed frequency This magnet is setup to affect the path of travel of electrons that are in transit from cathode to the plate.

CHAPTER 5 RECIVER DESIGEN

The basic addition to the mobile phone is going to be the rectenna. A rectenna is a rectifying antenna, a special type of antenna that is used to directly convert microwave energy into DC electricity. Its elements are usually arranged in a mesh pattern, giving it a distinct appearance from most antennae. A simple rectenna can be constructed from a schottky diode placed between antenna dipoles. The diode rectifies the current induced in the antenna by the microwaves. Rectenna are highly efficient at converting microwave energy to electricity. In' laboratory environments, efficiencies above 90% have been observed with regularity.
Fig5.1: Receiver Design
24
WIRELESS CHARGING OF MOBILE PHONES USING MICROWAVES Some experimentation has been done with inverse rectenna, converting electricity into microwave energy, but efficiencies are much lower-only in the area of 1%. With the advent of nanotechnology and MEMS the size of these devices can be brought down to molecular level. It has been theorized that similar devices, scaled down to the proportions used in nanotechnology, could be used to convert light into electricity at much greater efficiencies than what is currently possible with solar cells. This type of device is called an optical rectenna. Theoretically, high efficiencies can be maintained as the device shrinks, but experiments funded by the United States National Renewable Energy Laboratory have so far only obtained roughly 1% efficiency while using infrared light. Another important part of our receiver circuitry is a simple sensor. This is simply used to identify when the mobile phone user is talking. As our main objective is to charge the mobile phone with the transmitted microwave after rectifying it by the rectenna, the sensor plays an important role. The whole setup looks something like this.

5.1 PROCESS OF RECTIFICATION

Studies on various microwave power rectifier configurations show that a bridge configuration is better than a single diode one. But the dimensions and the cost of that kind of solution do not meet our objective. This study consists in designing and simulating a single diode power rectifier in hybrid technology with improved sensitivity at low power levels. We achieved good matching between simulation results and measurements thanks to the optimization of the packaging of the Schottky diode. Microwave energy transmitted from space to earth apparently has the potential to provide environmentally clean electric power on a very large scale. The key to improve transmission efficiency is the rectifying circuit. The aim of this study is to make a low cost power rectifier for low and high power levels at a.

As our main objective is to charge the mobile phone with the transmitted microwave after rectifying it by the rectenna, the sensor plays an important role.

WIRELESS CHARGING OF MOBILE PHONES USING MICROWAVES A Schottky barrier diode is different from a common P/N silicon diode. The common diode is formed by connecting a P type semiconductor with an N type semiconductor, this is connecting between a semiconductor and another semiconductor; however, a Schottky barrier diode is formed by connecting a metal with a semiconductor. When the metal contacts the semiconductor, there will be a layer of potential barrier (Schottky barrier) formed on the contact surface of them, which shows a characteristic of rectification. The material of the semiconductor usually is a semiconductor of n-type (occasionally p-type), and the material of metal generally is chosen from different metals such as molybdenum, chromium, platinum and tungsten. Sputtering technique connects the metal and the semiconductor. A Schottky barrier diode is a majority carrier device, while a common diode is a minority carrier device. When a common PN diode is turned from electric connecting to circuit breakage, the redundant minority carrier on the contact surface should be removed to result in time delay. The Schottky barrier diode itself has no minority carrier, it can quickly turn from electric connecting to circuit breakage, its speed is much faster than a common P/N diode, so its reverse recovery time Trr is very short and shorter than 10 nS. And the forward voltage bias of the Schottky barrier diode is under 0.6V or so, lower than that of the common PN diode. So, The Schottky barrier diode is a comparatively ideal diode, such as for a 1 ampere limited current PN interface. Frequency of 2.45GHz with good efficiency of rectifying operation. The objective also is to increase the detection sensitivity at low levels of power. Different configurations can be used to convert the electromagnetic wave into DC signal, the study done in showed that the use of a bridge is better than a single diode, but the purpose of this study is to achieve a low cost microwave rectifier with single Schottky diode for low and high power levels that has a good performances. This study is divided on two kinds of technologies the first is the hybrid technology and the second is the monolithic one. The goal of this investigation is the development of a hybrid microwave rectifier with single Schottky diode. The first study of this circuit is based on the optimization of the rectifier in order to have a good matching of the Input impedance at the desired frequency 2.45GHz. Besides, the aim of the second study is the increasing of the detection sensitivity at low levels of power. This study is divided on two kinds of technologies the first is the hybrid technology and the second is the monolithic one. The goal of this investigation is the 27 ECE-A/2012-13/ PIET, JAIPUR

5.2 ANTENNA DESIGN

The characteristics of an antenna, i.e. Impedance, gain and polarization depend on the shape of antenna, with the dimensions normalized to the free-space wavelength.

In the Fig 5 of single spiral antenna there is diode at centre of antenna which converts microwave energy to Dc power. From which it can be used to charge cell phone.
5.2.1 THE SLOTTED WAVEGUIDE ANTENNA

A slotted waveguide is a waveguide that is used as an antenna in microwave radar applications. Prior to its use in surface search radar, such systems used a parabolic segment reflector. The circulator is connected to a tuning waveguide section to match the waveguide impedance to the antenna input impedance.
The slotted waveguide antenna consists of 8 waveguide sections with 8 slots on each section. These 64 slots radiate the power uniformly through free space to the rectenna. The slotted waveguide antenna is ideal for power transmission because of its high aperture efficiency (> 95%) and high power handling capability.
5.3 SENSOR CIRCUITRY

The sensor circuitry is a simple circuit as shown in the Fig 6, which detects if the mobile phone receives any message signal. This is required, as the phone has to be charged as long as the user is talking Thus a simple F to V converter would serve our purpose. In India the operating frequency of the mobile phone operators is generally 900MHz or 1800MHz for the GSM system for mobile communication .Thus the usage of simple F to Y converter would act as switches to trigger the rectenna circuit to on. A simple yet powerful F to V converter is LM2907.using LM2907 would greatly serve our purpose. It acts as a switch for triggering the rectenna circuitry .The general block diagram for the LM2097 is given below Thus a simple F to V converter would serve our purpose.

5.3.1 RECTIFYING ANTENNA

It rectifies received microwaves into DC current .A rectenna comprises of a mesh of dipoles and diodes for absorbing microwave energy from a transmitter and converting it into electric power. Its elements are usually arranged in a mesh pattern, giving it a distinct appearance from most antennae. A simple rectenna can be constructed from a Schottky diode placed between antenna dipoles as shown in Fig (d) The diode rectifies the current induced in the antenna by the microwaves. Rectenna are highly efficient at converting microwave energy to electricity. In laboratory environments, efficiencies above 90% have been observed with regularity. In future rectennas will be used to generate large-scale

5.3.2 SCHOTTKY BARRIER DIODE

A Schottky diode is a special type of diode with a very low forward-voltage drop. When current flows through a diode there is a small voltage drop across the diode terminals. A normal silicon diode has a voltage drop between 0.61.7 volts, while a Schottky diode voltage drop is between approximately 0.150.45 volts. This lower voltage drop can provide higher switching speed and better system efficiency. Another advantage of the Schottky barrier diode is a very low noise index that is very important for a

The common diode is formed by connecting a P type semiconductor with an N type semiconductor, this is connecting between a semiconductor and another semiconductor; however, a Schottky barrier diode is formed by connecting a metal with a semiconductor. When the metal contacts the semiconductor, there will be a layer of potential barrier (Schottky barrier) formed on the contact surface of them, which shows a characteristic of rectification. The material of the semiconductor usually is a semiconductor of n-type (occasionally p-type), and the material of metal generally is chosen from different metals such as molybdenum, chromium, platinum and tungsten. Sputtering technique connects the metal and the semiconductor. A Schottky barrier diode is a majority carrier device, while a common diode is a minority carrier device. When a common PN diode is turned from electric connecting to circuit breakage, the redundant minority carrier on the contact surface should be removed to result in time delay. The Schottky barrier diode itself has no minority carrier, it can quickly turn from electric connecting to circuit breakage, its speed is much faster than a common P/N diode, so its reverse recovery time Trr is very short and shorter than 10 nS. And the forward voltage bias of the Schottky barrier diode is under 0.6V or so, lower than that (about 1.1V) of the common PN diode. So, The Schottky barrier diode is a comparatively ideal diode, such as for a 1 ampere limited current PN interface. Below is the comparison of power consumption between a common diode and a Schottky barrier diode:
P=0.6*1=0.6W
P=1.1*1=1.1W
It appears that the standards of efficiency differ widely. Besides, the PIV of the Schottky barrier diode is generally far smaller than that of the PN diode; on the basis of the same unit, the PIV of the Schottky barrier diode is probably 50V while the PIV of the PN diode may be as high as 150V. Another advantage of the Schottky barrier diode is a very low noise index that is very important for a communication receiver; its working scope may reach20GHz.

5.4 DEVELOPMENT OF A RECTENNA USING HIGH GAIN FRANKLIN ARRAY

In order to extend the operation distance of the rectenna module, which is a combination of rectication circuitry and antenna, the Franklin array conguration is used to increase the antenna aperture. The System diagram is shown in Fig which includes a RF transmitter and the rectenna module connected to either a discharge resistor or a capacitor. Figure shows the geometry of the proposed stacked Franklin array antenna design, which contains 8 Franklin array elements and a total of 32patch elements. Those elements are grouped into two set of perpendicular orientations. Each set rest on a 0.6mm thick FR4 slab. The two slabs are glued together and placed on a metal ground plane with a spacing of 2.1mm. The total height of the antenna is 4.4mm. Principle design parameters of the array are listed in Table The fabricated prototype Franklin array antenna is shown in Fig. Simulated and measured reection coecient spectra are provided in Fig. Multiple resonances are observed. However, the principle radiation mode occurs near 2.4GHz and the bandwidth is approximately 20MHz. The antennas radiation pattern was measured in a 3D neareld anechoic chamber. Fig. 8 shows the concentrated beam, which is formed by 16patch elements. The antenna gain is approximately 12dBi.

5.5 POWER CONVERSION EFFICIENCY EVALUATION

The power delivered to the rectenna can be estimated from the aforementioned Friis transmission equation. In the following experiments, a transmitter of 30.6dBm (1.148W) is hooked up with a patch array antenna of 11 dBi to provide RF power. The rectenna is placed in front of the transmitter by either 1 or 1.5 m. The rectenna is connected to either a resistor or a capacitor to evaluate the power conversion efficiencies when used in powering and charging applications. We rst examine the power conversion efficiency of the rectenna by connecting to resistors of different values. Fig. 7(a) shows the measured DC voltage with resistors ranging from 100 to 1000 -. As expected, the converted DC voltage is proportional to the load resistance and is inversely proportional to the remote powering distance. The power conversion efficiency is dined in (2).

WIRELESS CHARGING OF MOBILE PHONES USING MICROWAVES Make use of valuable EM energy.
If Sensor circuitry is Very small circuitry in size. More economical than wired charging.
Wireless energy transfer can potentially recharge the mobile phones without chords. Only one microwave transmitter can serve to all the service providers in that area. The need of different types of chargers by different manufacturers is totally eliminated.
5.7 DISADVANTAGES
The transmitter and receiver also should be very powerful devices as the distance increases. Wireless transmission of the energy causes some drastic effects to human body, because of its radiation. Practical possibilities are not yet applicable as there is no much advancement in this field.

CONCLUSIONS
With mobile phones becoming a basic part of life, the recharging of mobile phone batteries has always been a problem. The mobile phones vary in their talk time and battery standby according to their manufacturer and batteries. All these phones irrespective of their manufacturer and batteries have to be put to recharge after the battery has drained out. The main objective of this current proposal is to make the recharging of the mobile phones independent of their manufacturer and battery make. A new proposal has been made so as to make the recharging of the mobile phones is done automatically as you talk in your mobile phone. This is done by use of microwaves. The microwave signal is transmitted from the transmitter along with the message signal using special kind of antennas called slotted wave guide antenna at a frequency 2.45 GHz. Thus this seminar successfully demonstrates a novel method of using the power of the microwave to charge the mobile phones without the use of wired chargers. Thus this method provides great advantage to the mobile phone users to carry their phones anywhere even if the place is devoid of facilities for charging. A novel use of the rectenna and a sensor in a mobile phone could provide a new dimension in the revelation of mobile phone. Wireless charging of mobile phones using Electromagnetic waves can reduce the problem of electricity and will be helpful for automatic recharging of mobile phones, which is very much useful in the future
