Receiver Circuit: Full Bridge and Boost
- Using an ATmega328p chip to handle the
control system Process
- Generate K values beforehand based on
circuit values
- Read the secondary sides current and
voltage via two ADC reads
- Duty cycle is then adjusted to achieve
maximum efficiency
Ideal Control System
Voltage Characteristics
Process
- ATmega328p changes the duty
cycle
- Examine the voltage change
- Adjust the duty cycle accordingly
for set voltage Reasons we used this system
- Changed for simplicity
Actual Control System
- Modeled in SOLIDWORKS
- Precision alignment of coils for test
- Increased coil turns and outer diameter
- Corrosion resistant materials
▫ Nylon threaded rod, 3d printed plastic
- Non magnetic at coil interface
Testing Setup
Measured Voltage Vs. Distance
Parameter Value Frequency 300 kHz Period 3.33 ns Input Voltage 28 VAC Rail Voltage +- 30VDC Forward Voltage 300 mV Compensating Capacitor 12nF
Parameter Value Frequency 300 kHz Period 3.33 ns Input Voltage 28 VAC Rail Voltage +- 30VDC Forward Voltage 300 mV Compensating Capacitor 12nF
Measured DC Voltage Before DC/DC Boost Converter
As distance increases
- ur ability to boost
the voltage is limited
Measured Voltage after DC/DC Boost Converter
Parameter Value Frequency 150kHz Period 6.66 ns Input Voltage 28 VAC Rail Voltage +- 30VDC Forward Voltage 300 mV Compensating Capacitor 12nF
