  • Patent number: 9589721
    Abstract: An automatic tuning assist circuit is coupled with a transmission antenna. The transmission antenna injects a first correction current into, or otherwise draws the first correction current from, the transmission antenna. In the first state, the first auxiliary coil is coupled with the transmission antenna. In this state, the first correction current IA, which corresponds to a current that flows through the first auxiliary coil, is injected into or drawn from the transmission antenna. In the second state, the first auxiliary coil is decoupled from the transmission antenna. In this state, the current that flows through the first auxiliary coil flows through a current path which is independent of the transmission antenna. The state is switched between the first state and the second state with the same frequency as that of the driving voltage.

  • Patent number: 8909966
    Abstract: A wireless power supply apparatus generates an electric signal frequency-modulated or otherwise phase-modulated according to a transmission-side code that is determined beforehand with a wireless power reception apparatus. The electric signal thus generated is transmitted via a transmission coil so as to generate an electric power signal including any one of an electric field, a magnetic field, and an electromagnetic field. The wireless power reception apparatus receives the electric power signal using a reception coil. A control unit changes the impedance of a resonance circuit that comprises the reception coil and a resonance capacitor, according to a reception-side code that is to correspond to the transmission-side code.
