ADAPTING DEVICE FOR A WIRELESS POWER TRANSMITTER AND RECEIVER AND METHOD OF USING SAME

An adapting device interfaces a wireless power transmitter having a first array of magnets arranged around a source coil in the wireless power transmitter with a wireless power receiver lacking a corresponding array of magnets arranged around a receiver coil in the wireless power receiver. The adapting device includes a planar dielectric substrate and a second array of magnets embedded in the substrate, having a polarization opposite to the first array of magnets, and configured to contain a magnetic flux formed by the first and second array of magnets to the wireless power transmitter and the adapting device.
