Abstract
A system measures wireless power transfer between a transmitter and a receiver. The system includes a sensor circuit including a sensor. The sensor is configured and positioned to generate sensor data indicative of a field. The field is generated in connection with the wireless power transfer. The system further includes a processor coupled to the sensor circuit and configured to determine a power measurement based on the sensor data. The processor is further configured to determine misalignment of the transmitter or the receiver. The processor is also configured to correct an estimate of the power measurement based on the misalignment.
