Abstract
A wireless power transmission system is presented. In some embodiments, a transmission unit includes a first inductor with a center tap, a first end tap, and a second end tap; a pre-regulator coupled to provide current to the center tap; a switching circuit coupled to the first end tap and the second end tap, the switching circuit alternately coupling the first end tap and the second end tap to ground at a frequency; and a resonant circuit magnetically coupled to the first inductor, the resonant circuit wirelessly transmitting power. In some embodiments, the switching circuit can be formed of FETs. The current provided to the center tap can be controlled in response to current sensors.
