Hi
i am working on wireless power transmission . So far i have made couple of coils with wire gauge (20, 22, 30) and with different sizes and shapes.
I am feeding the primary coil with my function generator (1MHz, 10V peak-to-peak) and towards the receiving end i am barely getting enough power to barely light up an LED. I have experimented different coil shapes and even increased the frequency to 10MHz but of no use.
I know that i need MOSFETs to boost up the power to primary coils, but i am a little confused on how to proceed and which MOSFETs to choose from.
Plus, someone also mentioned that i should use a DC power supply with lets say around (50V) and use oscillatory circuit to feed it to MOSFET (Driver - then MOSFET IC).
i was told that in that way i can get a great power to excite the coil.
Actually i am more into RF and RF circuit design, i designed the coils and matched the frequency using my previous antenna design skills, but the Analog circuitary to feed it up is a nightmare for me.
Any help in this regard shall be appreciated and will get me going further
cheers
P.S.
i am also attaching a basic picture of my Experimental set-up (that will give you a better picture)
