Abstract
Presented herein are techniques for wirelessly transferring power signals (power) through the use of a quantized wave-shaped signal, referred to herein as 'quantized waveform.' In particular, a quantized waveform generator comprises a pulse generator and a set of amplifiers that are grouped over a distributed resonance capacitor part of a series resonant tank circuit. These amplifiers are driven in a predefined sequence of pulses in order to generate a step function output (quantized waveform). The quantized waveform is used to drive a power transmission coil to cause the power transmission coil to emit wireless power signals at a predetermined operating frequency. The predefined sequence used to drive the amplifiers is such that one or more harmonic components of the operating frequency are substantially eliminated.
