INTRODUCTION
Mobile phones becoming basic part of life
Recharging of mobile phones is a big problem
Objectiveto recharge any mobile phone independent of
manufacturer and battery make
Achieved by recharging battery while talking using
microwaves

CONTD
More you talk more the mobile get charged!
No separate mobile charger
Removal of talk time and battery stand by from mobile
specifications
Additives to mobile handsets:
Sensor
Rectenna

WHATS HAPPENING?
Microwave signal is transmitted from transmitter along
with message signal using slotted waveguide antenna at
frequency 2.45 GHz
Charging made universal

MICROWAVE REGION
Wavelength : 1 mm-30 cm
Microwave can be used for:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

Measuring body temperature

Transmitting information
Remote sensing
RADAR
Communication

Microwave region of electromagnetic

FREQUENCY SELECTION
Select license free 2.45 GHz Industrial, Scientific and
Medical (ISM) radio bands
ISM bands are reserved internationally for noncommercial use of RF electromagnetic fields for
industrial, scientific and medical purpose

TRANSMITTER SECTION

Consists of two parts

Magnetron
Slotted waveguide antenna

13

MAGNETRON
Magnetron is a vacuum tube oscillator that generates
high-power electromagnetic signals in the microwave
frequency range.

14

Contd

It is a microwave tube in which electrons generated from a

heated cathode are affected by magnetic and electric fields to
produce microwave radiation
Magnetron is used to produce high-power output required in
radar and communication equipment

15

SLOTTED WAVEGUIDE ANTENNA

It is an Omni-directional antenna

16

Contd
Slotted antenna arrays used with waveguides are
popular antenna in navigation, radar and other highfrequency systems
Has high efficiency and gain of 13dB
Here we use frequency of 2.45GHz

17

RECEIVER SECTION
Basic additions to mobile phone
a. Sensor
b. Rectenna

18

SENSOR CIRCUITRY
Simple circuit which detects whether the user is making
a call
Simple F to V converter, this would serve our purpose
Operating frequency of mobile phone operators for GSM
system for mobile communication in India is 900MHz or
1800MHz
Simple yet powerful F to V converter is LM2907
19

CONTD

On the reception of the microwave signal ,the sensor

circuitry directs rectenna circuit to ON
Rectenna circuit converts microwave energy to dc output
Mobile phone begins to charge using the microwave
power as long as the user talks over cell phone.

20

RECTENNA

What is Rectenna ?
Rectenna = Rectifier + Antenna.

21

Contd

Rectenna is a rectifying circuit that converts microwave

energy into DC output.
Single Rectenna is approx 23 mm2 , arranged to form an
array suitable to the shape of mobile phone.
Very thin as sheets and can be used at the back of the Cell
phones
In our design it consists of a single diode power rectifier
in hybrid technology with improved sensitivity at low
power levels.

22

RECTIFYING CIRCUIT
The Schottky diode microwave rectifying circuit is used
here as its efficiency is found to be greater than 90%.
To make low cost power rectifier for low and high power
levels of 2.45GHz with good efficiency of rectifying
operation
Used to improve transmission efficiency

23

ADVANTAGES
Charging mobiles wirelessly
Saving time for charging
Wastage of power is less
Better than witricity
Get charged as we make call during long journey

24

DISADVANTAGES
Radiation problems may occur
Network traffic may cause problems in charging
Charging depends on network coverage
Rate of charging may be of minute range

25

APPLICATIONS
As the topics name itself it is used for
WIRELESS CHARGING OF MOBILE PHONES

26

FUTURESCOPE &
CONCLUSION

Thus this paper successfully demonstrates a novel method

of using the power of microwave to charge mobile phones
without use of wired chargers.
It provides great advantage to mobile phone users to
carry their phones anywhere even if the place is devoid
of facilities for charging.
Has effect on human beings similar to that from cell
phones at present.
27

Contd
Use of rectenna and sensor in mobile phone could
provide new dimension in the revolution of MOBILE
POWER
