Abstract
Example embodiments are disclosed for limiting radio frequency noise created during wireless charging of rechargeable batteries in radio frequency communication devices. In an example embodiment, a power source circuit in a wireless charging device produces a source alternating current. The source alternating current is passed through a radio frequency blocking filter to limit radio frequency noise. The filtered source alternating current is then driven through a transmitting coil in the charging device, which inductively couples with a proximately located receiving coil in a radio frequency communication device. An induced alternating current is passed through a second radio frequency blocking filter in the communication device, which limits radio frequency noise that could otherwise be created by the rectifier and control circuits in the communication device.
