Abstract: Each one of code modulators modulates first power to generate a code-modulated wave using a modulation code based on a code sequence, and transmits the code-modulated wave to one of code demodulators. Each one of code demodulator receives the code-modulated wave from one of the code modulators, and demodulates the received code-modulated wave to generate second power using a demodulation code based on a code sequence identical to the code sequence of the modulation code used. When power is transmitted between each one of transmitter and receiver pairs, a controller selects and assigns code sequences to the transmitter and receiver pairs, so as to reduce an average of an absolute value of a total current of the code-modulated waves of the transmitter and receiver pairs in a transmission path, as compared to a reference value, the average being averaged over a predetermined time.

Abstract: A power receiver apparatus receives a code-modulated wave from a power transmitter apparatus via a transmission path, the code-modulated wave including first power modulated by code modulation using a modulation code based on a code sequence. The power receiver apparatus is provided with a contactless connector and a code demodulator. The contactless connector is coupled to the transmission path without electrical contact with the transmission path, and receives the code-modulated wave from the power transmitter apparatus via the transmission path. The code demodulator demodulates the received code-modulated wave to generate second power by code demodulation using a demodulation code based on a code sequence identical to the code sequence of the modulation code used for the code modulation.

Abstract: A current meter measures a current value associated with input power inputted to a code modulator. A code modulation circuit modulates the input power to generate a code-modulated wave by code modulation using a modulation code based on a code sequence, and transmits the code-modulated wave to the code demodulator via a transmission path. A control circuit controls the code modulation circuit. The code modulation circuit has operation modes different from each other depending on a direction of the input power, and a direction of the code-modulated wave to be generated. The control circuit generates waveform information indicating variations of direction of the input power over time, based on the current value measured by the current meter, and determines the operation mode of the code modulation circuit based on the waveform information.
