Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Wireless power transfer (WPT) systems have garnered significant market attention owing to their broad applicability in portable electronic devices, electric vehicles, unmanned aerial vehicles, biomedical implants, and related fields. In these systems, operating frequency and efficiency are critical factors affecting both transmission efficiency and transmission distance, making high-frequency operation an important trend for improving overall WPT performance. However, elevating the switching frequency also introduces notable challenges, including increased switching losses in power devices, limited load adaptability, and poor anti-misalignment capability, which in practice often lead to degraded system efficiency and unsatisfactory waveform quality. Accordingly, this paper proposes a high-frequency inverter power supply system capable of operating at a maximum output voltage frequency of 25 KHz. Under conditions of a 10 KHz output frequency and a 20 KΩ load, the system achieves a peak efficiency of 94.01%. A prototype was implemented through the integration of a software algorithm based on ARM Cortex-M3 core control with a hardware architecture consisting of a driving circuit, a full-bridge inverter, and a switchable filtering module. This work offers practical design insights for the development of future high-frequency, high-voltage inverter systems, while also providing valuable experimental data to support further research in this area.
