  • WIRELESS POWER TRANSFER IN-BAND COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20140314170
    Abstract: A wireless charging in-band communication system includes a transmitter module that formats a message using CRC calculation and attaches the results of the CRC calculation to the message for message error detection. The transmitter includes channel encoding for message error correction. A modulation module performs biphase modulation for DC balanced signals and impedance switching to change reflected impedance seen by the source. A synchronization module prepending the message with a synchronization sequence having Golay complementary codes. Moreover, the in-band communication includes a receiver module that receives the message from the transmitter module. The receiver module includes an impedance sensing circuit to detect changes in the reflected impedance of the transmitter module. The receiver module includes a front end filter used for pulse shaping and noise rejection.
