  • Packaging and Details of a Wireless Power device
    Publication number: 20090243397
    Abstract: A wireless power system includes a power source, power receiver, and components thereof. The system can also include a parasitic antenna that can improve the coupling to the power source in various modes. The antenna can have both a variable capacitor and a variable inductor, and both of those can be changed in order to change characteristics of the matching.

  • Packaging and Details of a Wireless Power device
    Publication number: 20090224609
    Abstract: A wireless power system includes a power source, power receiver, and components thereof. A current sensor senses the amount of current through the antenna. That amount of current is then used to adjust characteristics of the transmitting or receiving.

  • Wireless Power Range Increase Using Parasitic Antennas
    Publication number: 20090134712
    Abstract: Wireless power transfer is created using a first antenna that is part of a magnetic resonator, to create a magnetic field in an area of the first antenna. One or more parasitic antennas repeats that power to create local areas where the power is more efficiently received.
