Abstract:
Described herein are techniques related one or more systems, apparatuses, methods, etc. for integrating a near field communications (NFC) coil antenna in a portable device. For example, the NFC antenna is integrated under a metal chassis of the portable device. The metal chassis and a conductive coating—that is integrated underneath the full metal chassis—are designed to include one or more slots to provide high impedance to Eddy current induced in the conductive coating.
Abstract:
Techniques for tuning in a wireless power transmitter in a system, method, and apparatus are described herein. An example of a wireless power transmitter may include a transmitter coil configured to generate a magnetic field for wirelessly charging a battery, and a tuning circuit coupled to the transmitter coil configured to retune the transmitter coil in response to a reactance shift of the transmitter coil. The wireless power transmitter may also include a tuning control circuit to detect the reactance shift and control the tuning circuit to retune the transmitter coil. The tuning control circuit is to detect the reactance by measuring a drain voltage of a power amplifier.
Abstract:
A method of wirelessly charging batteries of devices includes detecting at least two devices being simultaneously present on a charging mat. It is determined, for each of the at least two devices, whether the device is compatible with a wireless charging standard. It is determined, for each of the two devices, whether the device is enabled for a near field communication. Charging of the devices is prevented if at least one of the devices is enabled for a near field communication but not compatible with the wireless charging standard.
Abstract:
A charging system may be provided that include an adapter to receive an external power and to provide an output voltage, and a charging device to receive the output voltage and to provide a wireless power. The adapter may adjust the output voltage based on feedback information. The charging device may include a power amplifier to receive the output voltage directly from the adapter, a power transmitter to transmit the wireless power, a wireless communication device to receive power information from an external electronic device, and a feedback device to provide a feedback signal or feedback information to the adapter based on the power information.

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.
