Abstract:
The disclosure generally relates to a method and apparatus for wireless charging station with adaptive radio interference detection and control. During wireless charging of a smart device, the harmonics associated with the magnetic resonance coupling between the power transmission unit (PTU) and the power receiving unit (PRU) may interfere with radio communication if PRU engages in radio messaging. The disclosed embodiments provide method and system for identifying interference and adapting the wireless charging power to reduce or eliminate interference while efficiently charging the PRU.

Abstract:
Described herein are architectures, platforms and methods for dynamic amplification/boosting of near field communications (NFC) antenna transmission power in a device during NFC related functions that require increase in an NFC antenna transmission power such as a payment transaction. For example, to comply with Europay MasterCard and Visa (EMVco) standards with regard to higher NFC antenna transmission power during the EMVco transactions, the NFC antenna transmission power may be dynamically controlled to maximize efficiency of a battery/power supply of the device.
Abstract:
Some demonstrative embodiments include apparatuses, systems and/or methods of wireless power transfer. For example, a Wireless Power Receiver (WPR) may include a rectifier to convert a wireless charging signal received from Wireless Power Transmitter (WPT into a Direct Current (DC) power signal; a voltage regulator to regulate a voltage of the DC power signal according to a voltage range; a bypass path to bypass the voltage regulator; and a bypass controller to select between directing the DC power signal to the voltage regulator or to the bypass path, based on a voltage level of the DC power signal and the voltage range.
Abstract:
Techniques of magnetic field distribution are described herein. The techniques may include forming a wireless charging component including a driving coil to receive a driven current generating a magnetic field. An outer turn of a parasitic coil may be formed, wherein the outer turn is adjacent to the driving coil. An inner turn of the parasitic coil may be formed, wherein an inductive coupling between the driving coil and the parasitic coil generates a redistribution of a portion of the magnetic field at the inner turn.
Abstract:
An antenna element forms a ring slot antenna comprising a first slot and second slot. The antenna element is located on a first surface of a conductive chassis that encases a body or a volume for wireless communication signals to be received or transmitted. A coupling component is located on an opposite side of the conductive chassis and behind the antenna element. The coupling component facilitates a coupling between a communication component and the antenna element as a function of the orientation and geometric shape of the coupling component to facilitate different resonant frequencies via the first and second slots of the antenna element.
Abstract:
A device for wirelessly charging a battery includes a power amplifier having a transmitter coil generating a magnetic field for wirelessly charging a battery. A low pass filter arrangement is electrically coupled to an output of the power amplifier. A band stop filter is electrically coupled to an output of the low pass filter arrangement. An output of the band stop filter is electrically coupled to a resistive load associated with the battery. The low pass filter arrangement and the band stop filter are configured to transform a load impedance associated with the transmitter coil to produce a current at the output of the power amplifier that remains substantially constant in response to changes in the load impedance.
