The book presents a unified and design-oriented treatment of converter topologies used in resonant wireless power transfer (WPT) systems. It systematically covers compensation networks, resonant inverter and rectifier topologies, and practical design methodologies used in modern WPT applications. The authors introduce the basic concepts of WPT, as well as its history. They present the compensation technologies required on the transmitter side of a WPT system, in particular, the characteristics, analysis, and design of various types of Class D and Class E resonant inverter topologies. Application examples are provided, and a discussion of future trends in WPT concludes the book.

Converter Topologies for Resonant Wireless Power Transfer helps practitioners in the field find solutions to their problems in a clear and concise manner. Engineers and technology managers interested in the analysis, study, design, and development of WPT applications can also use the book as a point of reference. The characteristics and numerical examples provided for each topology also make the book an invaluable source of information for students at both an undergraduate and graduate level, as well as researchers.

Wireless power transfer (WPT) has evolved from early experimental demonstrations into a broad family of technologies spanning consumer electronics, medical implants, industrial systems, and electric-vehicle charging. This introductory chapter places resonant WPT in a historical and technical context by reviewing major milestones, application domains, standardization efforts, and present-day design constraints. The discussion distinguishes near-field and far-field approaches, summarizes representative frequency ranges and usage cases, while highlighting the roles of interoperability, electromagnetic compatibility, exposure limits, and safety functions in practical systems. A generalized system architecture is then introduced, together with circuit, equivalent-network, and multi-coil modeling viewpoints that recur throughout the monograph. These perspectives support the central theme of this monograph: converter topologies, compensation networks, rectifiers, and control strategies must be selected and designed as an integrated resonant power-electronic system rather than as isolated subsystems.
