Abstract
Systems and methods which allow for the coexistence of wireless charging (WCH) and short-range communication (e.g., NFC) in a close spaced relationship. A cradle may include a plurality of slots which each removably receive one of the mobile systems. The cradle and the mobile systems may each include NFC and WCH coils that are closely spaced but are placed orthogonally relative to each other. A time multiplexer may be used to disconnect WCH while performing NFC communication to prevent crosstalk in the same mobile system. A filtering system may act on the NFC circuits to allow contemporary activation of WCH and NFC communication on mobile systems. A slot multiplexer may be provided in the cradle to allow for selection of a single mobile system slot at a time to activate NFC communication with the mobile systems, using a single NFC communication controller for all of the mobile system slots.
