1. A wireless charging device comprising:
- a first wireless power transmission antenna disposed at a first location at a wireless charging mat;
a second wireless power transmission antenna disposed at a second location at the wireless charging mat;
a first distal temperature sensor disposed at a location between the first antenna and the second antenna, the first distal temperature sensor responsive to heat propagated from the first antenna and heat propagated from the second antenna; and
a controller to regulate charging power at the first antenna and at the second antenna based on information provided by the first distal temperature sensor.

Abstract
A wireless power transmission antenna is disposed at a wireless charging mat. Another second wireless power transmission antenna is disposed at another location at the wireless charging mat. A temperature sensor is disposed at a location between the antennas. The temperature sensor is responsive to heat propagated from both of the antennas. A controller regulates charging power at each antenna based on information provided by the temperature sensor.
