Abstract

See full text

A uniform magnetic field may provide better performance in wireless power transmitters due to smaller impedance variations in an output of a power amplifier of a wireless power transmitter and also allow for wireless power transmitter pads to be thinner. One aspect of the disclosure provides a device for wireless power transfer. The device comprises a substantially planar transmit antenna that is configured to generate a magnetic field. The device also comprises a pad having a charging surface. At least a portion of the transmit antenna is disposed in the pad. The device also comprises a ferromagnetic material having a shape and a position relative to the transmit antenna. At least one of the shape or position of the ferromagnetic material, or a combination thereof, is selected to modify a distribution of the magnetic field at the charging surface.
