Abstract: A wireless charging device includes a power source (106) configured to generate a direct current (DC) voltage signal. Also, the wireless charging device includes a driver unit (108) configured to receive the DC voltage signal and convert the DC voltage signal to a first alternating current (AC) voltage signal. Further, the wireless charging device includes a transmitting unit (110) including a resonant capacitor (114) and a resonant coil (116), coupled to the driver unit (108), wherein the transmitting unit (110) is configured to receive and transmit the first AC voltage signal. Additionally, the wireless charging device includes a control unit (112) configured to detect a receiver device (104) based on a change in at least one of a capacitive voltage across the resonant capacitor (114) and an inductive voltage across the resonant coil (116) if the receiver device (104) is positioned within a predetermined distance from the transmitting unit (110).
