Abstract
A resonant induction wireless power transfer coil assembly designed for low loss includes a wireless power transfer coil, a non-saturated backing core layer adjacent the wireless power transfer coil, an eddy current shield, a gap layer between the backing core layer and the eddy current shield, and an enclosure that encloses the wireless power transfer coil, backing core layer, gap layer and eddy current shield. The gap layer has a thickness in a thickness range for a given thickness of the backing core layer where eddy current loss in the eddy current shield is substantially flat over the thickness range. A thickness of the backing core layer and a thickness of the gap layer are selected where a total power loss comprising power loss in the backing core layer plus eddy current loss over the gap layer is substantially minimized.
