Systems and methods for operation efficiency in wireless power transfer

Embodiments described herein a method for controlling operating frequency for a wireless power charging system. Specifically, a transmitter coil at a wireless power transmitter is driven under an operating frequency and an input voltage. Deadtime information at the wireless power receiver is received, from a wireless power receiver having a receiver coil that receives wireless power from the transmitter coil.
