Abstract:
A method determines a type of an object in a proximity to a resonant structure having a resonant frequency as a metallic object if the object changes a phase of a power signal reflected by the resonant structure at frequencies below and above the resonant frequency. Otherwise, the method determines the type of the object as a non-metallic object.
