  • Publication number: 20110193416
    Abstract: Described herein are improved configurations for a wireless power transfer. A power source for driving a resonator includes a switching amplifier. The duty cycle of the switching amplifier may be adjusted as well as optionally inductors and/or capacitors of the circuit to improve the efficiency of power transfer from the power source to the resonators when the parameters of the resonant load change.
