Figure 11: Definition of Foreign Object Protection (2)
The Foreign Object Protection is defined as the percentage of the coupler Front-End area covered by
metal. The power transmitter Tx will switch off if the front end area of the Tx is covered for more than
40% by electrically conducting material such as metal.
