Wireless power transfer apparatus with radially arrayed magnetic structures

Abstract

An apparatus includes a first coil, a second coil having a first side facing a first side of the first coil, a first radial array of magnetic material bodies disposed on a second side of the first coil, and a second radial array of magnetic material bodies disposed on a second side of the second coil such that respective magnetic material bodies of the second radial array overlap respective magnetic material bodies of the first radial array. The apparatus may be included in a wireless power transfer system.
