Various embodiments of a wireless connector system are described. The system has a transmitter module and a receiver module that are configured to wirelessly transmit electrical energy and/or data via near field magnetic coupling. The wireless connector system is designed to increase the amount of wirelessly transmitted electrical power over a greater separation distance. The system is configured with various sensing circuits that alert the system to the presence of the receiver module to begin transfer of electrical power as well as undesirable objects and increased temperature that could interfere with the operation of the system. The wireless connector system is a relatively small footprint that is designed to be surface mounted.

Wireless connector system

Various embodiments of a multi-mode antenna are described. The antenna is preferably constructed having a first inductor coil and a second inductor coil. A plurality of shielding materials are positioned throughout the antenna to minimize interference of the magnetic fields that emanate from the coils from surrounding materials. The antenna comprises a coil control circuit having at least one of an electric filter and an electrical switch configured to modify the electrical impedance of either or both the first and second coils.

Multi-mode wireless antenna configurations

A dual wireless power transfer system includes an input power supply and a first wireless power transmission system receiving power at a first power input from the input power supply. The first wireless power transmission system includes a first transmitter antenna and a first driver for driving the first transmitter antenna for wireless power transmission and wireless receipt of data, wherein data wirelessly received at the first transmitter antenna at least partially feeds back onto the first power input. A second wireless power transmission system includes a second transmitter antenna and a second driver for driving the second transmitter antenna for wireless power transmission. A low voltage drop out receives power from the input power supply and provides power at a preselected lower voltage to the second wireless power transmission system, such that Vis independent of data received at the first transmitter antenna.

Cross talk and interference mitigation in dual wireless power transmitter

A dual wireless power transfer system is disclosed having an input power supply providing power at a first voltage V1 and a first wireless power transmission system receiving power at a first power input from the input power supply, the first wireless power transmission system including a first transmitter antenna and a first driver for driving the first transmitter antenna for wireless power transmission to a first wireless receiver system and wireless receipt of data from the first receiver system, wherein data wirelessly received at the first transmitter antenna from the first receiver system at least partially feeds back onto the first power input. A second wireless power transmission system includes a second transmitter antenna and a second driver for driving the second transmitter antenna for wireless power transmission to a second wireless receiver system. A low voltage drop out receives power from the input power supply at Vand provides power at a preselected lower voltage Vto the second wireless power transmission system, such that Vis independent of data received at the first transmitter antenna.
