Abstract
Example wireless power transfer systems and methods are described. In one implementation, an electronic control module is configured to generate a signal to be communicated to a transmitter coil. A driver module configured to receive the signal and compensate for any degradation in signal quality is electrically coupled to the electronic control module. The driver module is further coupled to the transmitter coil. A receiver coil, wirelessly electrically coupled to the transmitter coil, is configured to receive a wireless charging signal from the transmitter coil. The implementation also includes an electronic lock module electrically coupled to the receiver coil. The electronic lock module receives the wireless charging signal from the receiver coil and uses the wireless charging signal to charge a rechargeable battery electrically coupled to the electronic lock module.
