AI summary

An induction coil assembly and a wireless electrical power transmission system are disclosed. A wire that forms the induction coil assembly is wound on a first surface and a second surface of a substrate, two parts of the wire are coupled with each other via a through hole of the substrate, and the coil on the first surface and the coil on the second surface are wound in order of an upper surface to a lower surface, or are cross-wound according to upper-lower surfaces, so that an area surrounded by each winding of the coil is increased as much as possible on the premise of limited substrate dimensions, thereby maximizing the total inductance value of the coil and increasing an induced voltage of the coil.
