FERRITE ANTENNAS FOR WIRELESS POWER TRANSFER
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A wireless power system, comprising:
- a connection to a signal having a first frequency, said signal carrying a specified power level;
an inductive part, formed of a loop base, and a main inductive loop that has a first specified number of loop turns, and a coupling loop having a second number of loop turns, said coupling loop having fewer loop turns than said main loop, and said connection being electrically coupled to said coupling loop and not to said main inductive loop, said coupling loop and said main loop being physically coupled to one another and being movable relative to said loop base, such that both said main loop and said coupling loop move together on said loop base.

10. A method of transmitting wireless power, comprising:
-
optimizing a first coupling loop part of an antenna; attaching a main inductive loop mechanically to the first coupling loop and keeping said main loop and said coupling loop electrically isolated from one another; optimizing the main loop of the antenna separately from optimizing the coupling loop; moving both the coupling loop and the main loop to different locations, to optimize their position relative to parameters of a circuit; and using the coupling loop and main loop as attached to one another to transmit wireless power. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
