One of the major challenges of high-order wireless charging circuit is to reduce the system volume and cost induced by its additional components. Based on an LCL-S circuit, this paper proposes a modular integration design, in which an identical compensation inductor and transmitter are closely coupled. A new compensation method is derived to enable zero phase angle (ZPA) and constant current (CC) output. Identical currents are fed into the same reference terminals of both inductors to enable transmission field enhancement and to eliminate reactive power flow between the inductors. A misalignment tolerant coil is used to improve the output power stability under random parking imperfection. The proposed integration design achieves enhanced transmission capacity. Experiments are carried out to verify the proposed design.
