Overview of Wireless Charging System

Wireless Charging System
How to transfer power and charge efficiently Devices which have a battery

Wireless Power Transfer System

How to transfer power efficiently All electric devices

Difference from cable chargers

Elimination of complicated wire cables Safety from electric shock Increased mobility Relatively low efficiency (about 90% efficiency of cable chargers)

Considered frequency bands

20~60 kHz 80~370 kHz 6.78, 13.56 MHz

Challenges
Product Diversification
As market is increasing, each vendor makes the Wireless Charging system which has different structure & protocol Wireless Charging is possible only between systems having the same structure & protocol

Frequency Issues
Each vendor considers different frequency bands for Wireless Charging which disables interoperability between Wireless Charging systems

Regulation Issues
Each nation has different regulation for EMI/EMC, SAR, etc.
