Patent attributes
Aspects disclosed in the detailed description include a wireless charging circuit comprising a radio frequency (RF) power harvesting circuit. In one aspect, the RF power harvesting circuit is configured to harvest a wireless RF charging signal provided by a wireless charging station to generate a direct-current (DC) charging signal to charge a battery, for example, a lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery, in a battery-operated electronic device. In another aspect, a wireless charging controller controls the RF power harvesting circuit to dynamically increase or decrease an effective charging power of the DC charging signal according to a target charging power determined according to a charging profile of the battery. By dynamically adjusting the effective charging power provided to the battery according to the charging profile of the battery, it is possible to provide fast charging to the battery while protecting the battery from overcharging damage.
