Abstract:
A method of operating a wireless power transmission apparatus includes receiving information on rectifier output voltages from at least one wireless power reception apparatus; determining whether the rectifier output voltages are within a predetermined operating range, and controlling an impedance of the wireless power transmission apparatus based on a result of the determining.
Abstract:
A wireless power transmission apparatus for tracking a charging capacity of each of a plurality of wireless power reception apparatuses in an environment in which the plurality of wireless power reception apparatuses are charged includes a communication unit configured to receive information about either one or both of a charging support power and a requested power from each of the plurality of wireless power reception apparatuses, a controller configured to determine a charging capacity for a wireless power reception apparatus supporting the charging support power among the plurality of wireless power reception apparatuses based on the information about the charging support power, and a power tracker configured to re-track the determined charging capacity based on charging status information received from the plurality of wireless power reception apparatuses.
Abstract:
A planar spiral induction coil includes a strip-shaped coil having at least one turn. The at least one turn has a width that changes as a distance from a beginning of the strip-shaped increases in a length direction of the strip-shaped coil. each turn of the at least one turn has a respective width that causes an equal current to flow through each turn of the at least one turn.
Abstract:
A leakage magnetic field shielding apparatus includes a resonator configured to counterbalance a leakage magnetic field generated when a source resonator and a target resonator resonate at a resonant frequency of the source resonator and the target resonator.
