A wireless power transmission unit includes oscillators that convert DC energy into RF energy with a frequency f0, power transmitting antennas, and power receiving antennas. Each power transmitting antenna is a series resonant circuit in which a power transmitting inductor and a first capacitor are connected in series. Each power receiving antenna is a parallel resonant circuit in which a power receiving inductor and a second capacitor are connected in parallel. If the oscillator has a voltage step-up ratio Voc, the power transmitting inductor has an inductance L1, the power receiving inductor has an inductance L2, and the power transmitting and power receiving antennas and have a coupling coefficient k, (L2/L1)≧4(k/Voc)2 is satisfied. The absolute value of the phase difference &thetas;res between the respective resonant magnetic fields of first and second pairs of resonant antennas is set to fall within the range of 90 to 180 degrees. |
