Abstract
A wireless power transmitting apparatus transmits an electric power signal comprising any one from among an electric field, a magnetic field, and an electromagnetic field to a wireless power receiving apparatus. A transmission antenna includes a transmission coil. An automatic tuning assist circuit is coupled in series with the transmission antenna. A power supply applies an AC driving voltage across both terminals of a series circuit that comprises the transmission antenna and the automatic tuning assist circuit. A first controller switches on and off multiple switches in synchronization with the driving voltage. A voltage monitoring unit monitors the voltage that develops at an auxiliary capacitor.
