APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PERTURBATION OF OPERATING POINT FOR PREVENTION OF WIRELESS POWER TRANSFER STALLING

In one or more examples, an apparatus may comprise a wireless power transmitter. The apparatus may include transmitter circuitry including a transmit coil to inductively couple with a receive coil of a wireless power receiver. The apparatus may further include a controller to control the transmitter circuitry to generate a wireless power signal in the transmit coil; perform demodulation on a communication signal, modulated over the wireless power signal, in attempt to decode one or more packets from the wireless power receiver; and perturb an operating point of the transmitter circuitry responsive to identifying a failure in decoding the one or more packets.
