Abstract

Methods, devices, and integrated circuits are disclosed for efficiently receiving a wireless power transfer. In one example, a device configured for receiving a wireless power transfer includes an active rectifier, rectifier input nodes, and a controller. The controller is operatively coupled to the active rectifier and configured to control the active rectifier to modify the impedance at the rectifier input nodes.
