Abstract

A resonance power transfer system and a method for tracking resonant impedance in the resonance power transfer system are provided. An apparatus for tracking resonant impedance in a resonance power transfer system may include: a load sensor configured to detect the impedance of a load connected to a target device that receives resonance power; a target reflection signal detector configured to detect a reflection signal corresponding to the resonance power; a target impedance tracking unit configured to track the resonant impedance by adjusting a determination factor of a resonant frequency; and a target control unit configured to control the tracking of the resonant impedance based on whether there is a change of the impedance of the load, the reflection signal is detected, or both.
