Abstract:
Systems and methods for a twisted rectangular litz wire for generating or receiving wireless electrical power. The rectangular litz wire may be arranged as a DD coil having first and second co-planar loops. The loops may have a shared single-stacked inner portion and double-stacked outer portions. The litz wire may be twisted between the inner and outer portions, such that a width of the coils at the outer portions is defined by a first longer side of the wires, and a width of the coils at the inner portion is defined by a second shorter side of the wires. This arrangement may reduce a size of the DD coil may reducing a width of the shared inner portion.
Abstract:
Aspects of this disclosure include an apparatus configured to and methods for the transfer of wireless power. The apparatus comprises a first coil configured to generate a magnetic field over a charging area, the first coil forming a coil area. The apparatus further comprise a ferrite material positioned in contact with or next to the first coil. The ferrite material has a ferrite footprint forming a two-dimensional area, the two-dimensional area at least partially overlapping the coil area. The apparatus further comprise a metallic plate positioned in contact or next to the ferrite material. The metallic plate has a plate footprint forming an area that is substantially equal to the two-dimensional area of the ferrite footprint.
Abstract:
One aspect of the disclosure provides an apparatus for conveying wireless power. The apparatus comprises a circuit board disposed along one or more planar coils and a plurality of feeds. The circuit board is divided into a first area separate from a second area. The first area has a plurality of first voltage components and the second area has a plurality of second voltage components. The first voltage components operates at a lower voltage than the second voltage components. The plurality of feeds are coupled to the one or more planar coils and the circuit board. The plurality of feeds pass through the circuit board within the second area along a side of the circuit board and couple to one or more of the second voltage components.

Abstract:
A magnetic coil suitable for wireless power transfer comprises a layer of magnetically-permeable material and plural conductors that follow respective convoluted paths relative to the layer of magnetically-permeable material to form respective inductors. In use, the conductors have substantially equalized inductances based on the convoluted paths and interaction with the magnetically-permeable material. One way of achieving this is to place the conductors such that the overall proximity of the conductors to the layer of magnetically-permeable material along their respective lengths is substantially equal. In this way, the conductors are positioned substantially symmetrically with respect to the layer of magnetically-permeable material, such that an average distance of each individual section of the conductors proximate to the permeable layer is equal.
