Abstract

In an inductive charging system energy is transferred via a magnetic field. An object detection apparatus for an inductive charging system comprises: a transmitter configured to transmit a signal; a receiver having a field of view including a substantial portion of the magnetic field, the receiver configured to receive within the field of view a reflected signal of the signal; and a signal processor configured to examine characteristics of the received, reflected signal to identify a hazard condition in relation to the magnetic field. By converting the received signal into a frequency domain signal, hazard conditions may be identified depending on the form of the frequency domain signal. The object detection apparatus is suitable for use in a charging apparatus for an electric vehicle.
