This article presents a simultaneous wireless power and data transfer (SWPDT) system based on double-sided inductor–capacitor–capacitor compensation topology and frequency-shift keying. A simplified method to analyze the power transfer, data transfer, and interference between them is proposed. To obtain higher data transfer gain and lower bit error rate, the data injection and extraction transformers are optimized. A laboratory prototype was built to verify the correctness of the analysis and the methodology. The proposed SWPDT system is less susceptible to interference between the power and data transfer. This is experimentally proven by high signal-to-noise ratio of 47 dB in the worst case. The power transfer efficiency is 90.5% under nominal conditions, and the data rate is 150 kb/s. The proposed system is robust against coupling variations, with effective data transfer even though the coupling coefficient is decreased by 95.3%.
