Abstract: It is of great significance to accurately calculate the mutual inductance of one-primary multiple-secondary coil system (OPMSC) in order to improve energy transmission efficiency, measurement accuracy of magnetic sensor, etc. In this paper, a method based on time harmonic field to calculate such mutual inductance is proposed. Both the high frequency alternating current model and the time-harmonic electromagnetic field calculation method are used to ensure engineering practicability of the method. The current of each coil and the relative position between coils are considered in the proposed method. Moreover, according to the full derivation of a new analytical method. the extremum phenomenon of mutual inductance is described. And this method is verified by both finite element simulations and experiments, which proves that the method is effective for optimizing the relative position of the multiple coils when mutual influence among all the coils is taken into account.
Keywords: Electromagnetic analysis, mutual inductance, multi-coil system
