INDUCTIVE CHARGING DOCK

Abstract:

An inductive charging dock is disclosed that includes a charging dock housing defining an interior volume. The inductive charging dock housing is configured to support a portable electronic device during a wireless charging operation and includes a radio frequency (RF) transparent window. An induction coil is disposed within the interior volume and configured to generate a magnetic flux that exits the charging dock housing through the RF transparent window. A cooling fan is disposed within the interior volume and is configured to establish a flow of cooling air along a path that extends through an air gap between the induction coil and the RF transparent window
