International Classification:

H02J 50/50
H04B 7/155
H02J 50/10

Abstract:

A modular wireless power transfer system includes a first wireless transmission system and a wireless repeater system. The first wireless transmission system is configured to receive input power from an input power source, generate AC wireless signals, and couple with the wireless repeater system. A magnetic sensor system in the first wireless transmission system senses a magnet of specific strength in a specific location on the wireless repeater system. Based on the presence of absence of such a magnet, the first wireless transmission system allows or disallows, respectively, the transmission of the AC wireless signals to the wireless repeater system.

Abstract:

A power transmitter for wireless power transfer at extended distances is configured for vehicular utilization. The power transmitter includes vehicular power input regulator configured for receiving input power and filtering the input power to a filtered input power, the vehicular power input regulator including an input protection circuit and a DC/DC voltage converter. The power transmitter further includes a control and communications circuit and an inverter circuit. The power transmitter further includes a coil for transmitting the power signal to a power receiver, the coil formed of wound Litz wire and including at least one layer, each of the at least one layer having N turns, the coil defining, at least a top face and a shielding comprising a ferrite core and defining a cavity, the cavity configured such that the ferrite core substantially surrounds all but the top face of the coil.
