In addition to the capacitive coupling, there are other methods of wireless power transmission, such as electromagnetic induction, magnetic resonance and radiowave.

- Capacitive coupling wireless power transmission technology -
Murata's capacitive coupling wireless power transmission modules have two sets of asymmetric dipoles consisting of active and passive electrodes positioned vertically on the power transmitting and receiving sides.
Power is transmitted utilizing an induction field generated by coupling the two sets of asymmetric dipoles.
This configuration realizes wireless power transmission with high position freedom and efficiency.
Murata holds the patent for this configuration. (Patent #: PCT/FR2006/000614).
Below is a block diagram showing the entire system, which makes use of this technology.
The power transmitting side consists of a power transmitting module and a power transmitting electrode, and the power receiving side consists of a power receiving electrode, a power receiving module and a DC-DC converter.
The power transmitting module includes a power supply circuit, which makes use of Murata's power supply design technology, and a control circuit to provide safety.
The power converted to AC current by the power transmitting module is transmitted to the power receiving side via a capacitor consisting of a power transmitting electrode and a power receiving electrode.
A rectifying circuit and a voltage conversion circuit are built into the power receiving side to provide stable DC voltage to batteries and equipment.
Voltage is converted during power transmission in capacitive coupling. An example of voltage transition is shown below. The wireless power transmission (capacitive coupling) area is high-voltage but small-current; therefore, there is no risk of heat generation.
Murata's own high-voltage safety measures are described below.
Murata's own safety measures are applied to high voltage at the wireless power transmission area providing excellent protection.

Murata's own safety measures are applied to high voltage at the wireless power transmission area providing excellent protection.
- Power transmitting modules feature the ability to detect load and transition.
- With the above feature, power transmission is halted if conditions such as the absence of equipment being charged or fully-charged battery are detected.
- When abnormal conditions such as contact by a metal object other than equipment to be charged or a human body is detected, power transmission is also halted.
- If electric discharge occurs, power transmission is halted to prevent smoke emission and fire.
Murata offers support for structural design around electrodes to ensure the safety of equipment introducing our modules. Here are the areas of support we offer.
- We insulate electrode areas.
- We help with structural design to completely encase electrode areas.
