abstract = {Wireless power transfer via magnetic resonant coupling
is experimentally demonstrated in a system with a large source
coil and either one or two small receivers. Resonance between
source and load coils is achieved with lumped capacitors
terminating the coils. A circuit model is developed to describe
the system with a single receiver, and extended to describe the
system with two receivers. With parameter values chosen to obtain
good fits, the circuit models yield transfer frequency responses
that are in good agreement with experimental measurements over a
range of frequencies that span the resonance. Resonant frequency
splitting is observed experimentally and described theoretically
for the multiple receiver system. In the single receiver system
at resonance, more than 50\% of the power that is supplied by the
actual source is delivered to the load. In a multiple receiver
system, a means for tracking frequency shifts and continuously
retuning the lumped capacitances that terminate each receiver
coil so as to maximize efficiency is a key issue for future
work.},
