    摘要: The technology described herein relates to apparatus, methods and computer readable media for operating wireless power receivers with reconfigurable (or adaptive) antenna configurations for improved wireless power transfer in wireless power delivery environments. A method according to the technology includes the step of determining that power received, via a means for receiving wireless power, from a wireless power source in the wireless power delivery environment is below a threshold level. The method also includes the step of cycling through two or more configuration settings for the means for receiving wireless power. The method further includes the step of identifying one of the two or more configuration settings that provides for power received via the means for receiving wireless power meeting or exceeding the threshold level.

    摘要: The technology described herein relates to wireless power receivers with reconfigurable (or adaptive) antenna configurations for improved wireless power transfer in multipath wireless power delivery environments. In an implementation, a wireless power receiver is described. The wireless power receiver includes one or more radio frequency (RF) antennas, power metering circuitry and control circuitry. The power metering circuitry is adapted to measure at least one characteristic of wireless power received from a wireless power transmission system in a multipath environment. The control circuitry is adapted to monitor the power metering circuitry to determine when the measure of the at least one characteristic of the wireless power fails to meet a preset threshold, and dynamically reconfigure an antenna configuration of the wireless power receiver when the at least one characteristic of the wireless power fails to meet the preset threshold.

    摘要: Techniques are described herein for delivering retrodirective wireless radio frequency (RF) power to a client device in a wireless power delivery environment. More specifically, embodiments of the present disclosure describe techniques for delivering directed wireless RF power to a client device in a wireless power delivery environment via multiple wireless power signals over multiple wireless power delivery paths. The client device includes one or more RF client transceivers that collectively have a radiation and reception pattern in a three-dimensional space proximate to the client device. The techniques identify the wireless power delivery paths over which wireless power signals can be delivered and deliver the wireless power in a manner that matches the client radiation and reception pattern in the three-dimensional space proximate to the client device.

    摘要: The technology described herein relates to polarization adaptive wireless power transmission systems. In an implementation, a wireless power transmission system is described. The wireless power transmission system includes an antenna array and control circuitry operatively coupled to the antenna array. The control circuitry is configured to determine polarization information of a beacon signal received from a client device at multiple antennas of the antenna array. The beacon signal is transmitted by a client device in a wireless power delivery environment. The control circuitry is further configured to configure polarization information associated with each of the multiple antennas to match the polarization information determined at respective antennas of the multiple antennas. The present technology enables different wireless power receiver clients to have different polarizations. The wireless power transmission system can efficiently send power to the client devices by matching their polarization.

    摘要: The disclosed wireless transmitter estimates a client location in space and transmits power in the form of electromagnetic (EM) waves to that location. In response to receiving the power, a client sends a power request signal. In some implementations, the power request signal includes a request that the wireless transmitter transmit more power to the client. In response to the power request signal, the wireless transmitter can modify the power transmitted to the client to increase/decrease the amount of power the client is receiving. For example, the wireless transmitter can modify the emitted EM waves to increase coherent addition or decrease coherent addition at the location of the client to increase the amount of power the client receives. In some implementations, the wireless transmitter modifies the phase distribution of EM waves to increase the amount of power a client receives.
