Electronic device for wirelessly charging external device
An electronic device includes a display, a conductive coil, a wireless charging circuit electrically connected to the conductive coil, a power management circuit, a battery; and a processor, wherein the processor may be configured to control the electronic device to: measure a current flowing from the power management circuit to the wireless charging circuit while power is transferred to an external device through the conductive coil, and adjust the power transferred to the external device through the conductive coil based on a part of a power amount preset in a signal requesting addition of power based on a value of the current being between a first threshold value and a second threshold value greater than the first threshold value.
Broadband antenna matching network employing energy recovery schemes
An energy conversion device disposed in series with an RF driver circuit and an RF antenna, the energy conversion device being arranged to convert a portion of available RF power from the RF driver circuit into a different form of energy (direct current, thermal, or higher frequency electromagnetic waves such as light) which is converted, if needed, to DC and stored in an energy storage device coupled with the RF driver circuit for supplying recycled electrical energy thereto. The RF antenna may be an electrically small antenna and thus a antenna matching network may be provided between the RF driver circuit and the RF antenna. The energy conversion device may comprise, for example, (i) a transformer in combination with a rectifying circuit, (ii) a full wave rectifier, (iii) a half wave rectifier, (iv) a heat and/or light producing device, an energy converter (such as a generator) or a combination of the foregoing.
