This project aims to create a measurement and evaluation system of the field surrounding a wireless charging system. The group will be responsible for building and developing multiple flux probes, to be placed around a working IPT charging system. They will also need to design and build suitable interfaces to and data collection means in a computer to enable quick and easily collection of measurement data to help assess and validate simulations of the same system. The project will require development of analogue electronics interfacing to an embedded system interfacing to a laptop, and an understanding of the whole IPT system in operation including magnetic field behaviour under operation of the primary and secondary electronics. If desired the group may well simulate the fields expected for validation in JMAG or Maxwell, or expected results could be provided.
