Wireless Connector System
First Claim
1. A wireless connector system, comprising:
- a) a transmitter module, comprising;
i) a first substrate supporting a transmitter antenna, wherein the transmitter antenna is configured to transmit a wireless signal;
ii) a second substrate supporting a transmitter module electronic circuit, wherein the transmitter module electronic circuit is electrically connected to the transmitter antenna; and
iii) a first insulator positioned between the transmitter module electronic circuit and the transmitter antenna;
b) a receiver module, comprising;
i) a third substrate supporting a receiving antenna, wherein the receiving antenna is configured to receive the wireless signal;
ii) a fourth substrate supporting a receiver module electronic circuit, wherein the receiver module electronic circuit is electrically connected to the receiver antenna; and
iii) a second insulator positioned between the receiver module electronic circuit and the receiver antenna.

Abstract
Various embodiments of a wireless connector system are described. The system has a transmitter module and a receiver module that are configured to wirelessly transmit electrical energy and/or data via near field magnetic coupling. The wireless connector system is designed to increase the amount of wirelessly transmitted electrical power over a greater separation distance. The system is configured with various sensing circuits that alert the system to the presence of the receiver module to begin transfer of electrical power as well as undesirable objects and increased temperature that could interfere with the operation of the system. The wireless connector system is a relatively small foot print that is designed to be surface mounted.
