    Abstract: A sensor includes a ferromagnetic shield, at least one sensor coil disposed around an exterior of the ferromagnetic shield, and an electronics module within the ferromagnetic shield. The electronics module is configured to determine the position and/or orientation of the sensor based at least in part on a measurement of a signal induced in the at least one sensor coil.

    Abstract: A foreign object detection method and apparatus for performing same. A wireless power transmitter has a matching network and transmit coil. The method includes, stimulating the transmit coil with electrical signals at a plurality of frequencies, measuring a response of the transmit coil to the electrical signals, determining a quality factor and/or resonant frequency of the transmit coil based upon the measured response, and analyzing the quality factor and/or resonant frequency to determine whether a foreign object is coupled to an electromagnetic field generated by the transmit coil.
