Simulation results for k of WPT with a solenoid Rx coil. The turn number of Rx coil n2 is swept from 2 to 6, and the wire pitch of Rx coil s is swept from 0.1 mm to 1.1 mm. A single-turn circular Tx coil is used, R1 = 20 mm and r1 = 0.287 mm. For the Rx coil, R2 = 5 mm, and r2 = 0.04 mm. fp = 30 MHz and h = 20 mm.
