Wireless Charging is the future

Wireless Charging was started in 2008 by Wireless Power Consortium (WPC).It was based on Qi inductive power standard. Although called wireless, wireless charging is not totally without wires. The primary coil in the charger needs current from AC mains to produce magnetic flux, which produces current in the charger’s secondary coil by induction for charging the device. So the primary coil is plugged into an AC socket using wires, though called wireless.

People did not want to wait to wait for hours to charge a phone’s battery wireless, especially when you need to use the device in 10 minutes.

New wireless charging allows transfer of upwards of 1A current.

Alliance for Wireless Power (A4WP) is a wireless charging standard that came up recently. The chargers using A4WP standard transfer power wireless at a frequency of 6.78 M Hz.

Here in A4WP the Concept of Inductive charging is changed from Magnetic induction to Resonance .Here the coupling factor is the main difference between the two. Devices based on Inductive charging the coupling factor are 0.3 to 0.8 where as Device s based on Resonance is below 0.3.

Quick and proficient charging is done only when the transmitter quickly identifies the receiver.It the transmitter works efficiently but the receiver does not, the wireless charger loses its significance.

PowerbyProxi brings a fully integrated receiver circuit that fits easily into a smart phone to charge its battery wireless.

Verizon and DOCOMO are using Qi standard, AT & T is using PMA standard and T-Mobile is using A4WP.

A technology can never improve with just one merger or collaboration. There should be continuous improvements and investments to make the technology widely known and acceptable.

Samsung’s Electro-Mechanical division partnered with PowerbyProxi to develop new charging devices.

Samsung being a member of A4WP consortium, it is looking forward to improve the Qualcomm’s WiPower standard based on resonance.

Recently Apple reveals new wireless charging circuitry device like an iWatch.
