Abstract: Methods and systems for maximum efficiency achievable in near-field coupled wireless power transfer systems are disclosed and may include configuring coil geometry, independently of load impedance and source impedance, for a transmit (Tx) coil and a receive (Rx) coil based on a media expected to be between the coils during operation. A desired susceptance and conductance may be determined and an impedance of an amplifier for the Tx coil may be configured based on the determined susceptance and conductance. A load impedance for the Rx coil may be configured based on the determined susceptance and conductance. A matching network may be coupled to the amplifier. The Rx coil may be integrated on a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) chip. One or more matching networks may be integrated on the CMOS chip for the configuring of the load impedance for the Rx coil.
