Methods and Circuitry for Mitigating Saturation in Wireless Power Systems - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for patent application number 18336555 Titled 'Methods and Circuitry for Mitigating Saturation in Wireless Power Systems'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a wireless charging system that transfers power from a transmitter to a receiver without the need for physical connections. However, the receiver may experience shield saturation, which is when a component called a ferrite structure becomes overwhelmed with power. This saturation can cause disruptive oscillations in the power transfer process. To address this issue, the power transmitter is equipped with control circuitry that can detect and mitigate the saturation problem.
Original Abstract Submitted
A wireless charging system having a power transmitter may wirelessly transfer power to a power receiver. Shield saturation, such as saturation of a ferrite structure, in the wireless power receiver may occur under some operating conditions. Saturation can lead to disruptive oscillations in power transfer. The power transmitting may include control circuitry for detecting and mitigating saturation.
