Abstract
A wireless power transmitter is provided for power transmission to a wireless power receiver. The transmitter comprises a primary coil to transfer power to a secondary coil of the wireless power receiver, a power supply, a driver to provide an electric potential from the power supply to the primary coil, a monitoring system to measure electrical flow parameters of the primary coil, and to filter the measured electrical flow parameters thereby producing a response signal, and a controller to direct operation of the wireless power transmitter. The controller is configured to perform error checking by directing the driver to provide the electric potential as a superposition of a transmission signal and a sensing signal, the filter characteristics comprising electrical flow parameters of the and sensing signal, and detecting, based a difference between the response and sensing signals, an error condition indicative of a foreign object.
