Wireless Power – Ready For Prime Time
Abstract:
For many, 2015 marked the ‘tipping point’ for wireless power with major announcements
from several key smartphone and infrastructure providers.
This paper explores the reasons behind the adoption of wireless power, after more than
one hundred years in the wilderness, reviews some of the wireless power technology
trends and standards and looks to the next phase of enabling mass market adoption.

Wireless Power Introduction
• An alternating current in the
transmitter coil generates a
magnetic field which induces a
voltage in the receiver coil.
• This voltage can be used to
power a mobile device or
charge a battery
Reference: Wireless Power Consortium
• Best energy transfer when the coils are similar size and
tightly coupled with small separation

Transmitter (Tx)
• Power Conversion Unit:
DC-to-AC Conversion
• Adapts Power Transfer
– To the need of the receiver
– To a required operating point
• Receives Messages
– Via communication Packets
– By de-modulation of the reflected
load
Receiver
Receiver (Rx)
• Power Receive Unit:
AC-to-DC Conversion
• Controls Received Power
– To the need of the mobile device
– To the desired operating point
• Sends Messages
– Via communication packets
– By load modulation on the power signal

Wireless Power Standards
• WPC Qi (MI) gaining greater traction
• >50MU shipped
• Large Smartphone Wins
• A4WP (MR):
• Multi-device charging and spatial freedom
• Larger size, lower efficiency, increased cost? EMI?
• PMA(MI) and A4WP(MR) agreement to merge
