US Patent 11114885 Transmitter and receiver structures for near-field wireless power charging

A wireless charging system comprises (i) a transmitter structure comprising a first metallic core disposed in an opening of the transmitter structure and (ii) a receiver structure comprising a second metallic core disposed in an opening of the receiver structure. The transmitter structure is configured to carry one or more radio frequency (RF) signals to the first metallic core when the receiver structure is within a threshold distance from the transmitter structure. In addition, the receiver structure is configured to be excited by the one or more RF signals from the transmitter structure, whereby the one or more RF signals are transferred from the first metallic core to the second metallic core when the transmitter structure and the receiver structure are within the threshold distance from each other.
