    摘要: The present application relates to an apparatus which comprises a wireless power transmission system. This system comprises features which allow it to transfer more power wirelessly to multiple devices simultaneously, each at extended distances than other systems operating in the same frequency range. The system including heat dissipation features, allowing the system to operate effectively in elevated-temperature environments and to transfer power at higher levels and/or greater distances than a typical power-transfer system. The system also may include design features to withstand mechanical shocks, stresses, and impacts for use in a rugged environment. The system may include features to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and/or specially shaped components with magnetic/ferrimagnetic properties that enhance performance. Other potential features include power conditioning by combining, within one circuit or one board, multiple elements that protect against excessive current, over-voltage, and/or reverse voltage.

    摘要: The present application relates to an apparatus which comprises a wireless power transfer (WPT) system. This system comprises features which allow it to transfer more power wirelessly at extended distances than other systems operating in the same frequency range. The system possesses heat dissipation features; these features allow it to operate effectively in elevated-temperature environments, and to transfer power at higher levels and/or greater distances than a typical power-transfer system. The system also might include design features to withstand mechanical shocks, stresses, and impacts for use in a rugged environment. The system can also comprise adaptations to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI), and can comprise specially shaped components with magnetic/ferrimagnetic properties that enhance performance. Other potential features include power conditioning by combining, within one circuit or one board, multiple elements that protect against excessive current, over-voltage, and/or reverse voltage. Other features might include integration of an antenna and a battery within one module.

    摘要: A method for operating a wireless power transfer system includes determining a driving signal for transfer of the AC wireless signals, the driving signals based on an operating frequency for the AC wireless signals, a power requirement for the wireless power signals, data contained in the wireless data signals, and one or more thermal mitigation features. Each of the one or more thermal mitigation features are configured to reduce temperature of at least one surface or volume of the wireless transmission system or the wireless receiver system. The method further includes providing the driving signal to an amplifier of the wireless power transmission system and driving a transmitter antenna of the wireless power transmission system, by the amplifier, based on the driving signal.
