This year is being called the “first year of electric vehicles,” and electric vehicles have come on the market in earnest. This trend is expected to continue and even accelerate with the diffusion of electric vehicles. However, manually charging the battery for electric vehicles is a tedious process. Therefore, an automatic, wireless charging system for electric vehicle is greatly desired. There are some types of wireless power transfer systems. In particular, electromagnetic resonant coupling is a promising technology for wireless power transfer because power can be transferred over a large air gap; this method is more practical and efficient than the conventional methods. This technology has been proposed recently, and detailed study on the repeater antenna is yet to begin.
