Aaron David Scher received the B.S. and M.S. degrees in Electrical Engineering from Texas A&M University, College Station, TX in 2003 and 2005, respectively. He received the Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Colorado, Boulder, CO in 2008. His graduate research focused on the modeling and characterization of electromagnetic metamaterials. In 2009 he joined Space Systems/Loral, Palo Alto, CA as a Senior Design Engineer, where he designed waveguide filters and multiplexers for communication satellites. Since 2012, he has been an Assistant Professor in the Electrical Engineering and Renewable Energy Department at the Oregon Institute of Technology, Wilsonville, OR. His current research interests include wireless power transfer and engineering education. Dr. Scher is a member of the IEEE and American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE).

Abstract

This work presents an equivalent DC circuit for modeling the steady-state behavior of a class-D inductive power transfer (IPT) system with series-parallel compensation capacitors. The equivalent circuit models lossy... [ view full abstract ]
