    摘要: A method for estimating distance using low frequency (LF) signals when performing fine positioning for electric vehicle (EV) wireless power transfer (WPT) includes steps of: restricting a position of a first transmitter of an EV to a point on a first straight line extending towards a center of a primary device of a power supply device; restricting a position of a second transmitter of the EV to a point on a second straight line extending towards the center of the primary device; compensating, on the first straight line or the second straight line, for the distance between the first transmitter and the second transmitter based on the time difference of LF signals arriving at the primary device; and calculating the positions of the first and second transmitters such that first and second distances from starting points on the first and second straight lines to the first and transmitters, respectively.

    摘要: A position alignment method comprises recognizing the state of the plurality of GAs through wireless communication with an SECC for controlling the plurality of GAs, receiving information about one or more valid GAs among the plurality of GAs from the SECC, selecting a target GA on the basis of the information about the one or more valid GAs, and establishing a wireless communication link; making a request to the SECC for performing a position alignment approval and authentication process, performing position alignment with the target GA using an LF signal if the authentication is successful, transmitting a dataset to the SECC using the LF signal after the position alignment with the target GA, and pairing with the target GA based on the dataset.
