Abstract

A clock recovery system for recovering an in-band communication clock in a wireless power transfer system can in include: a phase locked loop; and a bit decision block and a multiplexer that cooperate to selectively provide the error signal to the loop filter responsive to detected bits in the in-band communication bitstream. The phase locked loop can further include: a phase detector that computes an error signal from a difference between an instantaneous peak location and an estimated peak location correlated to a symbol in an in-band communication bitstream; a loop filter that selectively receives the error signal; and a voltage controlled oscillator that adjusts its output frequency responsive to an output of the loop filter.
