Abstract: Techniques for reducing reflected reactance in a wireless power transfer system are provided. An example apparatus includes a resonant network including a variable reactance element, such that the resonant network is configured to resonant when the variable reactance element is at a resonant reactance value, a control circuit operably coupled to the variable reactance element and configured to determine a first reactance value and a second reactance value, such that an output of the PRU is the desired output when the variable reactance element is either the first reactance value or the second reactance value, and the first reactance value is below the resonant reactance value and the second reactance value is above the resonant reactance value, determine an indication of a source reactance associated with a wireless power source, and adjust the variable reactance element to either the first reactance value or the second reactance value based on the indication of the source reactance.
