Zusammenfassung:A system and method to detect the presence of conductive foreign objects for a multi-coil wireless power system is described. A wireless power receiver resonant circuit quality information may be obtained without any costly hardware or termination of power delivery to the power receiver load. The power receiver free-running coil current or voltage may be measured during a very short time window. In this time window, the measurement may be unaffected by transmitter and receiver load due to the transmitter coil disconnection and because the wireless power receiver has sufficient DC-bus capacitance.
