The input impedance may vary depending on a position at which the second signal line 22 is connected to the resonator 41. Any of the first port P1, the second port P2, and the third port P3 may be used as an input port.


Hereinafter, the supply device 10 is described as having a structure including three ports of the first port P1, the second port P2 and the third port P3, but the present disclosure is not limited to this structure.

The second reference line 32 is located in a different place separated from the first reference line 31. The second reference line 32 surrounds the first signal line 21.


The first reference line 31 and the second reference line 32 may have any shape. For example, the first reference line 31 and the second reference line 32 may have a circular shape, an elliptical shape, and a polygonal shape. The shapes of the first reference line 31 and the second reference line 32 may be different from each other.


The resonator 41 is located between the first reference line 31 and the second reference line 32. The resonator 41 surrounds the first signal line 21. The resonator 41 includes an open portion 42 forming capacitive connection. The resonator 41 has a predetermined resonant frequency. The resonator 41 may also be referred to as an open resonator.


Specifically, the resonator 41 includes a first surrounding conductor 51, a second surrounding conductor 52, a first connection conductor 61, and a second connection conductor 62.

Characteristics of Supply Device

The characteristics of the supply device according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 3A and 3B. FIGS. 3A and 3B are diagrams for describing a simulation model of the supply device according to the first embodiment.



FIGS. 3A and 3B illustrate a supply device model 100 for performing a simulation. The supply device model 100 includes a first signal line 210, a first reference line 310, a second reference line 320, a resonator 410, and a dielectric body 510. The first signal line 210, the first reference line 310, the second reference line 320, and the resonator 410 correspond to the first signal line 21, the first reference line 31, the second reference line 32, and the resonator 41, which are illustrated in FIG. 2, respectively. In FIGS. 3A and 3B, the resonator 410 is described assuming that the open portion therein is linear. Note that the dielectric body 510 is arranged to perform a simulation, and the actual supply device 10 need not include the dielectric body.


As illustrated in FIG. 3B, a state of the magnetic field generated when the input signal is input from the first port P1 is simulated. A quadrilateral surrounding the supply device model 100 indicates a ground (GND). The first reference line 310 and the surrounding ground are electrically disconnected from each other. The second reference line 320 and the surrounding ground are electrically disconnected from each other. Note that in the first embodiment, any of the first port P1, the second port P2, and the third port P3 may be used as an input port.


The results of the simulation will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. FIG. 4 is a diagram for describing a state of the magnetic field distribution of the supply device according to the first embodiment. FIG. 5 is a diagram for describing a state of rotation of the magnetic field of the supply device according to the first embodiment.



FIG. 4 schematically illustrates a cross-section of the supply device model 100. As illustrated in FIG. 4, when an input signal is input from the second port P2 and the input signal flows through the first signal line 210, the magnetic field is generated around and inside the resonator 410. The magnetic field generated around and inside the resonator 410 is stronger as the magnetic field is closer to the first signal line 210 and weaker as the magnetic field is further away from the first signal line 210. The strength of the magnetic field generated around and inside the resonator 410 is, for example, in a range of about 0.02 A/m (Ampere per meter) to 18.51 A/m.



FIG. 5 schematically illustrates a state of the upper portion. In FIG. 5, directions of the magnetic field generated around and inside the resonator 410 are indicated by arrows. As illustrated in FIG. 5, the magnetic field generated around and inside the resonator 410 rotates in the XY plane. Specifically, when the magnetic field rotating around the first signal line 210 with the first signal line 210 as a rotation axis is generated, a linear vector potential in a direction along the first signal line 210 can be generated inside the first signal line 210. Thus, the vector potential is generated in the direction along the first signal line 210, whereby a voltage can be generated between the first port P1 and the second port P2. The voltage generated between the first port P1 and the second port P2 can vary according to the magnitude of the vector potential. The vector potential generated inside the first signal line 210 may vary according to the magnetic field rotating around the first signal line 210. The magnitude of the magnetic field rotating around the first signal line 210 varies according to a current value of an input signal input from the first port P1. Specifically, the voltage generated between the first port P1 and the second port P2 is a value obtained by time differentiation of the current value of the input signal input from the first port P1.


With reference to FIGS. 6A and 6B, the relationship between the input signal input to the first port P1 and the voltage generated between the first port P1 and the second port P2 will be described. FIG. 6A is a graph illustrating the current value of the input signal. FIG. 6B is a graph illustrating the voltage value of the voltage generated by the vector potential.


In FIG. 6A, the horizontal axis represents time (ns (nanosecond)) and the vertical axis represents current value (mA (milliampere)). As illustrated in FIG. 6A, the input signal input to the first port P1 is, for example, an alternating current that varies periodically between −1000 mA and 1000 mA. In FIG. 6B, the horizontal axis represents time (ns) and the vertical axis represents voltage value (V (volt)). As illustrated in FIG. 6B, the voltage generated between the first port P1 and the second port P2 is an alternating voltage that varies periodically between about −50 V and 50 V. As illustrated in FIGS. 6A and 6B, the voltage value is 0 in the vicinity where the current value becomes the maximum value or the minimum value. That is, the voltage generated between the first port P1 and the second port P2 is the value obtained by time differentiation of the current value of the input signal input from the first port P1.


As illustrated in FIGS. 6A and 6B, in the present embodiment, the linear vector potential in the direction along the first signal line 210 can be generated by generating the magnetic field with the first signal line 210 as a rotation axis by the resonator 410.


Specifically, in the present embodiment, by the linear vector potential in the direction along the first signal line 21, a voltage corresponding to the input signal input to the first port P1 can be generated between the first port P1 and the second port P2. That is, according to the present embodiment, power can be transmitted via the resonator 41 in response to an input signal input to the first port P1. Thus, in the present embodiment, by generating the vector potential in the direction along the first signal line 21, the electrical signal and energy can be transmitted without being blocked by an electrically shielding object such as a metal and a magnetic body. That is, the present embodiment can achieve a supply device that can transmit the electrical signal and energy without being blocked by an electrically shielding object such as a metal or a magnetic body.


In the present embodiment, the voltage value corresponding to the input signal input to the first port P1 is determined between the first port P1 and the second port P2. The value of the voltage determined between the first port P1 and the second port P2 may vary depending on the electrical or magnetic properties of the first signal line 210. Here, considering the first signal line 210 as a target conductor, which is a determination target, the value of the voltage determined between the first port P1 and the second port P2 can vary depending on the electrical or magnetic properties of the target conductor. Thus, the present embodiment can achieve a determination device that determines the properties of the target conductor.


That is, the present embodiment can provide a resonator and a determination device that have a novel resonance structure allowing generation of a voltage using a vector potential.

An open portion forming capacitive connection may be provided in each of the first surrounding conductor and the second surrounding conductor. That is, as illustrated in the variation of the first embodiment, at least one of the first surrounding conductor and the second surrounding conductor may include an open portion forming capacitive connection.


As described above, in the variation of the first embodiment, at least one of the first surrounding conductor and the second surrounding conductor includes an open portion forming capacitive connection. With such a configuration, in the variation of the first embodiment, a supply device that can transmit the electrical signal and energy can be achieved.

The third surrounding conductor 53 is located between the first signal line 21 and the first surrounding conductor 51. The third surrounding conductor 53 surrounds the first signal line 21.


As described above, in the second embodiment, the third surrounding conductor 53 is located between the first signal line 21 and the resonator 41. In the second embodiment, even with such a configuration, by inputting an input signal from the first port P1, the magnetic field rotating with the first signal line 21 as a rotation axis can be generated inside the resonator 41. Thus, since the vector potential can be generated in the direction along the first signal line 21, the voltage can be generated between the first port P1 and the second port P2 even when a conductor is disposed between the first signal line 21 and the resonator 41.


With such a configuration, in the second embodiment, a supply device that can transmit the electrical signal and energy can be achieved.

The first coaxial line 610 and the second coaxial line 620 are connected to the first signal line 210A from the outside.


The first coaxial line 610 includes a signal line 611 and a surrounding conductor 612. The signal line 611 is configured to transmit an electrical signal. The surrounding conductor 612 surrounds the signal line 611. The surrounding conductor 612 has a reference potential (ground). The first coaxial line 610 is externally connected from the first reference line 310 side. Specifically, the first coaxial line 610 is connected from the first reference line 310 side with a gap G1 between the surrounding conductor 612 and the first reference line 310. The gap G1 is, for example, 0.1 mm, but is not limited thereto. That is, the first coaxial line 610 and the first reference line 310 are connected such that the surrounding conductor 612 and the first reference line 310 are electrically disconnected from each other. The first reference line 310 includes a passing hole 411 through which the signal line 611 can pass, at a position to which the first coaxial line 610 is connected.

As illustrated in FIG. 11, when an input signal flows through the first signal line 210A surrounded by the resonator 410, the magnetic field is generated inside the resonator 410. The magnetic field generated inside the resonator 410 is stronger as the magnetic field is closer to the first signal line 210A and weaker as the magnetic field is further away from the first signal line 210A. The gain of the magnetic field generated around and inside a resonator 410A is, for example, in a range of about −25.80 dB to 29.54 dB. Specifically, when the magnetic field rotating around the first signal line 210A with the first signal line 210A as a rotation axis is generated, a linear vector potential can be generated inside the first signal line 210A. When a vector potential is generated inside the first signal line 210A, a voltage can be generated between the first port P1 and the second port P2.
