WIRELESS CHARGER, SYSTEM AND METHOD

DRIVE December 29, 2022

A wireless charger includes a plurality of charging units for charging wirelessly chargeable devices. Each charging unit includes one or more transmit coils for producing a wireless charging signal. Each charging unit also includes a driver circuit for driving the one or more transmit coils. The driver circuit is switchable according to a charging PWM duty cycle of that charging unit. Each charging unit is operable to perform a Q factor measurement by injecting excitation energy into the one or more transmit coils of that charging unit to produce a free resonance signal, and measuring a decay rate of the free resonance signal. Each charging unit is operable to alter its charging PWM duty cycle during a time window in which another charging unit of the wireless charger is performing a Q factor measurement.
