摘要: Method and circuitry for controlling a transmitter and a receiver of a wireless power transfer system. There is provided transmitter control circuitry for controlling a duty cycle of an inverter of a transmitter of a wireless power transfer system based on detection of a load signal at the transmitter. There is further provided receiver control circuitry for controlling operation of a receiver of a wireless power transfer system, the circuitry modifying of the load at the input or output of a rectifier of a receiver of a wireless power transfer system to vary a load signal at the receiver. The transmitter control circuitry may control the duty cycle of the inverter based on detection of the load signal from the receiver.

摘要: A bidirectional wireless power transfer system for transferring power comprises a power stage electrically connected to a transceiver element for an electric field and/or a magnetic field, and for extracting power from a generated electric field and/or a generated magnetic field. The power stage is for inverting an inputted power signal and for rectifying a received power signal. The system further comprises a trigger circuit for synchronizing wireless power transfer; and a clock generator for generating a clock signal. The system further comprises a switching element electrically connected to the power stage, and selectively electrically connected to the trigger circuit and the clock generator, such that: when the switching element electrically connects the clock generator to the power stage, the transceiver element is configured to transfer power by generating an electric field and/or a magnetic field, and when the switching element electrically connects the trigger circuit to the power stage, the transceiver element is configured to extract power from a generated electric field and/or a generated magnetic field.
