Abstract
A power transmitter (22) for a wireless power transfer system comprises an output circuit comprising a transmit power inductor (25) generating a wireless power transfer signal. An object detector (43) for detection of an object extracting power from the power transfer signal includes a signal generator (501) generating first and second carrier signals. A first signal path (503) receives the first carrier signal and comprises a circulator (513) having a port coupled to the output circuit and a port providing a reflected signal from the output circuit. A second signal path (505) receives the second carrier signal and has a signal path equalizer (515) with a transfer function corresponding to a transfer function of the circulator (513). A mixer (507) mixes signals from the two signal paths (503) and a first detector (509) determines a reflection parameter for the output circuit in response to the mixed signal. A second detector (511) detects a presence of the object in response to the reflection parameter.
