Summary :

The authors propose “Disk-repeater” as a new structure alternative to the conventional resonator repeater. Disk-repeater has a simple structure comprised of just copper plates and wire, non-resonant structure. First, coupling coefficients are measured as functions of disk diameter and wire length to characterize the basic performance of Disk-repeater. It is explained by several experimental evidences that Disk-repeater and resonator are not magnetically coupled but electrically coupled. It is also shown that the transmission distance extends dramatically longer than that of conventional resonator repeater. Further, two-dimensional arrangement, where multiple disks are connected, shows very high efficiency and uniform transmission characteristic regardless of positions of receiving resonator. Disk-repeater gives possibility of unprecedented versatile application with the simple structure.
