Abstract: Exemplary embodiments are disclosed of wireless charging modules including optimized near-field communication (NFC) antennas and that are suitable for use in vehicle applications (e.g., cars, trucks, buses, etc.). In an exemplary embodiment, a wireless charging module includes a near-field communication (NFC) antenna extending across (e.g., disposed over, etc.) an inductive charging coil. The NFC antenna is configured to enable communication with a mobile device having an NFC antenna when the mobile device is placed on the charging surface of the wireless charging module. The NFC antenna may comprise a foil antenna, a thin film antenna, or antenna structure printed, metallized, and/or directly mounted in and/or along either or both sides of a top cover of the wireless charging module.

Abstract: A wireless charging module includes a magnetic alignment component located higher in the Z axis than the transmitting coil, thereby enabling the magnetic alignment component to be closer to a mobile device positioned on a charging surface of the wireless charging module, which can provide better alignment between the transmitting coil of the wireless charging module and the receiving coil of the mobile device. In exemplary embodiments, the magnetic alignment component comprises a magnetic ring in a projection of a housing of the wireless charging module or embedded within a compliant/flexible cover configured to extend along a top portion of the wireless charging module. This can help ensure the magnet alignment components of the wireless charging module and the mobile device are close enough together to produce a sufficient magnetic force to pull the mobile device into proper alignment and provide superior alignment between the coils of the two devices.
