Abstract
This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for detecting wireless charging transmit characteristics. One aspect of the disclosure provides a method of detecting a transmit characteristic in a wireless power transmission device. The device includes a series element electrically coupled to a transmit coil. The method includes determining real and imaginary components of a first voltage at a first terminal of the series element. The method further includes determining real and imaginary components of a second voltage at a second terminal of the series element. The method further includes determining real and imaginary components of a current through the series element, based on the determined first and second voltages. The method further includes determining transmit characteristics such as nodal voltages, currents, power and impedances based on determined voltages and currents. The method further includes adjusting a characteristic of a wireless power transmission based on the determined transmit characteristics.
