Abstract

A device is described having one or more conductive loops to produce an electromagnetic field, such as for wireless power transfer to an electronic device. In some examples, an antenna is used with at least one resonating capacitor ring that is relatively co-planar with the antenna, and that is magnetically coupled to the antenna but is not electrically powered by an external source. In addition, a device is described having two or more thin-film coils, each coil comprising a pair of terminals and at least one loop defining a plane and an interior region. In some examples, the planes of the two or more coils are disposed substantially parallel to one another, the interior regions of the two or more coils at least partially overlap one another, and the pairs of terminals of the antennae are electrically connected in parallel.
