Abstract
A method includes utilizing a detection device comprising a detection mat having a plurality of detection coils, and at least one pair of groups of detection coils having a first group of detection coils and a second group of detection coils, and where the first group of detection coils includes a first impedance value, and a second group of detection coils includes a second impedance value. The method further includes determining alignment parameters representative of electromagnetic coupling between at least one pair of groups of detection coils of the detection mat and an electromagnetic field generated by an apparatus coil, and comparing the alignment parameters with a reference. The method also includes generating a control signal indicative of an alignment position of the apparatus coil with respect to the detection mat based on the compared alignment parameters.
