INTRODUCTION
 Mobile phones becoming basic part of life
 Recharging of mobile phones is a big problem
 Objective—to recharge any mobile phone
independent of manufacturer and battery make
 Achieved by recharging battery while talking using
microwaves
3/29
INTRODUCTION [contd]
 More you talk more the mobile get charged!
 No separate mobile charger
 Removal of talk time and battery stand by from mobile
specifications
 Additives to mobile handsets:
 Sensor
 Rectenna

WHAT’S HAPPENING?
 Microwave signal is transmitted from
transmitter along with message signal using
slotted waveguide antenna at frequency 2.45
GHz
 Charging made universal

MICROWAVE REGION
 Wavelength : 1 mm-30 cm
 Microwave can be used for :
1) Measuring body temperature
2)Transmitting information
3) Remote sensing
4) RADAR
5) Communication
6/29
Microwave Region Of
Electromagnetic Spectrum
 We choose s- band of microwave region(2-4GHz)
Designation Frequency range
L Band 1 to 2 GHz
S Band 2 to 4 GHz
C Band 4 to 8 GHz
X Band 8 to 12 GHz
Ku Band 12 to 18 GHz
K Band 18 to 26 GHz
Ka Band 26 to 40 GHz
Q Band 30 to 50 GHz
U Band 40 to 60 GHz
7/29
[7]
FREQUENCY SELECTION
 Select license free 2.45 GHz Industrial,
Scientific and Medical (ISM) radio bands
 ISM bands are reserved internationally for
non-commercial use of RF electromagnetic
fields for industrial, scientific and medical
purpose

TRANSMITTER SECTION
Consists of two parts
– Magnetron
– Slotted waveguide antenna
10/29
MAGNETRON
 Magnetron is a vacuum tube oscillator that
generates high-power electromagnetic
signals in the microwave frequency range.
11/29
[7]
MAGNETRON [contd.]
 It is a microwave tube in which electrons
generated from a heated cathode are
affected by magnetic and electric fields to
produce microwave radiation
 Magnetron is used to produce high-power
output required in radar and communication
equipment

SLOTTED WAVEGUIDE
ANTENNA
  It is an Omni-directional antenna.
 Slotted antenna arrays used with waveguides  are  
 popular antenna in navigation, radar  and other 
high-frequency systems.
 Has high efficiency and gain of 13dB.
 Here we use frequency of 2.45GHz.

RECEIVER SECTION
Basic additions to mobile phone 
Sensor
Rectenna
16/29
SENSOR CIRCUITRY
 Simple circuit which detects whether the user is making
a call.
 Simple Frequency to Voltage converter, this would
serve our purpose
 Operating frequency of mobile phone operators for
GSM system for mobile communication in India is
900MHz or 1800MHz
 Simple yet powerful Frequency to Voltage converter is
LM2907
17/29
SENSOR CIRCUITRY [contd.]
 On the reception of the microwave signal ,the sensor
circuitry directs rectenna circuit to ON
 Rectenna circuit converts microwave energy to dc
output
 Mobile phone begins to charge using the microwave
power as long as the user talks over cell phone.

RECTENNA
 What is Rectenna?
 Rectenna is a rectifying circuit that converts
microwave energy into DC output.
 Single Rectenna is approx 23 mm , arranged to
form an array suitable to the shape of mobile
phone.
 Very thin as sheets and can be used at the back
of the Cell phones
 In our design it consists of a single diode power
rectifier in “hybrid technology” with improved
sensitivity at low power levels.
20/29
RECTIFYING CIRCUIT
 The Schottky diode microwave rectifying circuit is
used here as its efficiency is found to be greater
than 90%.
 To make low cost power rectifier for low and high
power levels of 2.45GHz with good efficiency of
rectifying operation
 Used to improve transmission efficiency

ADVANTAGES
 Charging mobiles wirelessly
 Saving time for charging
 Wastage of power is less
 Better than witricity
 Get charged as we make call during long journey.
23/29
DISADVANTAGES
 Radiation problems may occur
 Network traffic may cause problems in charging
 Charging depends on network coverage
 Rate of charging may be of minute range
24/29
APPLICATION
 As the topic’s name itself it is used for
“ WIRELESS CHARGING OF MOBILE
PHONES”
25/29
FUTURE SCOPE
 Thus this paper successfully demonstrates a novel method of
using the power of microwave to charge mobile phones
without use of wired chargers.
 It provides great advantage to mobile phone users to
carry their phones anywhere even if the place is devoid of
facilities for charging.
 Has effect on human beings similar to that from cell phones
at present.
 Use of rectenna and sensor in mobile phone could provide
new dimension in the revolution of mobile power.

CONCLUSION
  Thus this technique successfully demonstrates a 
novel method of using the power of the microwave to 
charge the mobile phones without the use of wired 
chargers.
 Thus this method provides great advantage to the 
mobile phone users to carry their phones anywhere 
even if the place is devoid of facilities for charging.
