As described above, a wireless power transmitter and a control method thereof according to the embodiments of the present disclosure may detect an attenuation factor of resonant energy of the LC resonant circuit of the wireless power transmitter, thereby determining the existence or non-existence of an external metal material.
As illustrated in the above, a wireless power transmitter and a control method thereof according to the embodiments of the present disclosure may detect an attenuation factor of the LC resonant circuit, thereby determining the existence or non-existence of an external metal material.
Hereinafter, a wireless power transmitter according to the embodiments of the present disclosure describes a method of detecting a type of external material, and an alignment state and a capacitance of the receiver based on a change rate for each period of the attenuation factor.
A wireless power transmitter according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may carry out the process of generating a waveform at a specific frequency to detect an external material (S310).
