  • Publication number: 20230307957
    Abstract: A transmit resonator is provided. The transmit resonator comprises: two inductors; a switching network electrically connected to the inductors; a plurality of capacitive electrodes electrically connected to the switching network; a detector communicatively connected to the capacitive electrodes; and a controller communicatively connected to the switching network and the detector. The detector is configured to detect impedance. The controller is configured to control the switching network to control which electrodes are connected to the inductors based on the detected impedance. The inductors and electrodes are configured to resonate to generate an electric field.

  • Publication number: 20230198310
    Abstract: A differential rectifier for use in a receiver for receiving wireless power via inductive coupling comprises first and second capacitors; first and second switching elements; and first and second inductors. The first capacitor and first inductor are electrically connected in series, and the second capacitor and second inductor are electrically connected in series. The first switching element is electrically connected between the first capacitor and first inductor in parallel, and the second switching element is electrically connected between the second capacitor and second inductor in parallel. The first capacitor electrically is connected to a terminal of a coil for receiving power wirelessly via inductive coupling, and the second capacitor is electrically connected to another terminal of a coil for receiving power wirelessly via inductive coupling. The first and second switching elements are electrically connected to a tap of a coil for receiving power wirelessly via inductive coupling.
