Original Abstract Submitted

a multi-coil wireless power transfer (wpt) arrangement can include a magnetic core; first and second wpt coils positioned adjacent one another above the magnetic core; a third wpt coil positioned above the first and second wireless power transfer coils; a magnet ring located above the first and second wireless power transfer coils; additional magnetic core material disposed atop the magnetic core and associated with the third wpt coil. the first and second wpt coils can be separated by a separation distance selected to accommodate the additional magnetic core material; and a segmented metallic shield positioned between the magnet ring and the first and second wireless power transfer coils. the additional magnetic core material can include a base portion disposed atop the magnetic core and beneath the third wireless power transfer coil and/or a post portion disposed atop the base portion and within the third wireless power transfer coil.
