Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between near-field and far-field WPT?
Near-field WPT uses inductive coupling for short-range applications like charging phones and electric toothbrushes. Far-field WPT uses electromagnetic radiation (microwaves or lasers) for longer-distance applications such as solar power satellites and wireless-powered drones. Element provides testing services for both technologies to ensure compliance with relevant standards.
How has WPT technology evolved over time?
WPT technology has evolved significantly over many years, only recently becoming miniaturized enough to be embedded in the smallest devices. With growing global initiatives for electric vehicles, convenient charging solutions like WPT are increasingly vital. The technology continues to advance, enabling new applications across consumer, medical, and industrial sectors.
What devices use near-field WPT?
Inductive coupling is the most common near-field WPT method, used in applications like charging phones, electric toothbrushes, and RFID tags. It also enables induction cooking, continuous wireless power for implantable medical devices (such as pacemakers), and wireless charging for electric vehicles.
What devices use far-field WPT?
Far-field, or radiative, WPT transfers power over long distances using electromagnetic beams, such as microwaves or lasers. This technique is used in applications like solar power satellites and wireless-powered drone aircraft.
