RECEIVED WIRELESS POWER REGULATION
First Claim
1. An inductive power receiver for an inductive power transfer system comprising:
- a power pick up stage including a receiving coil for receiving power transmitted by a transmitter;
a load stage connected to the power pick up stage;
a power regulation stage configured to provide an equivalent voltage in series with the power pick up stage wherein the equivalent voltage switches between at least a first amplitude and a second amplitude that is different from the first amplitude; and
a controller configured to control the power regulation stage to regulate the power delivered to the load stage.
