Patent ID: 11799326

Abstract:
A power transmission unit includes an alternating-current power source that outputs alternating-current power, a clock generation unit that generates a clock signal higher in frequency than the alternating-current power, and a power transmission antenna that wirelessly transmits the power. A power reception unit includes, a power reception antenna that receives wirelessly the power from the power transmission antenna, and a rectification circuit that rectifies a voltage output from the power reception antenna and outputs the alternating-current power. A control system includes a correction unit that estimates a property change in one or more passive elements included in at least one of the power transmission unit or the power reception unit, and corrects a phase of the clock signal or the alternating-current power output from the alternating-current power source to maintain linearity between the alternating-current power output from the alternating-current power source and the alternating-current power output from the rectification circuit.
