Abstract: Throughout the last century, wireless power transmission has gained interest from many individuals and institutions, giving them the opportunity to apply their field of expertise in this unique power transmission. In fact, multiple standard bodies are available so as to define the electrical parameters and communication interfaces for both the transmitting and the receiving end. Thus, using such standards, one transmitter can communicate with different electronics hence transferring power to more than one type of receiver. This will make it a universal charging facility for mobile devices removing the need of various types of connectors and ports. While data transfer is already being done in a wireless manner, this efficient method is the next major step in a purely wireless device. The applications of wireless power transfer systems are practically infinite since every technology in existence needs a source of power. The most common application is the wireless charging of portable devices but that is not the only viable option. Ranging from small appliances to electric vehicles, such a method of transmission can be used, giving an increased convenience and a greater level of protection from the electrical power. This dissertation presents a thorough analysis in the operation of a wireless power transfer system. Hence, this includes both the power transfer between the transmitter and the receiver as well as how they communicate between each other to deliver the needed power to the load with utmost efficiency. The evaluation boards that were used are the STEVAL-ISB042V1(receiver) and STEVAL-ISB044V1 (transmitter). The power electronics in the evaluation boards were analysed and a complete testing procedure was performed. The testing procedure was designed to ensure that each block could be sufficiently tested to ensure its role in the entire system design.
