Abstract:
Antenna array calibration for wireless charging is disclosed. In one aspect, an initial calibration sequence is performed each time a wireless charging station is powered on. The initial calibration sequence utilizes a reference antenna element, which is an antenna element randomly selected from a plurality of antenna elements in the wireless charging station, to determine relative receiver phase errors between the reference antenna element and each of the other antenna elements in an antenna array. In another aspect, a training sequence is performed after completing the initial calibration sequence to determine total relative phase errors between the reference antenna element and each of the other antenna elements in the antenna array. Adjustments can then be made to match respective total relative phase errors among the plurality of antenna elements to achieve phase coherency among the plurality of antenna elements for improved wireless charging power efficiency.
