Abstract

This paper presents practical analog circuit-based methods to synchronize the secondary side active bridge of different wireless power transfer (WPT) systems with their primary side. The synchronization is necessary for proper operation of any WPT system with an active bridge on the secondary. The proposed schemes use only secondary side signals without the need of any information from the primary side. Simulation results presented validate the proposed schemes.
