We present the design of a half-bridge converter
for a capacitively coupled wireless power transfer
system. The load signal acts as a positive feedback
signal for a self-oscillation circuit which generates the
driving gate signals for the converter. Our research
reveals a robust wireless operation for a large range
of load resistors and coupling capacitors. Based on an
electric network analysis we obtain design criteria for
self-oscillation and for the power transfer. The theoretical
predictions are confirmed by circuit simulation
and measurement results on a converter prototype with
GaN-HEMTs. We report on a transfer efficiency of 92%
for a power greater than 50W at a switching frequency
of 300kHz and 200V DC link voltage.
