Antenna arrangement for pocket-forming

摘要

The present disclosure describes a plurality of antenna arrangements that may be suitable for wireless power transmission based on single or multiple pocket-forming. Single or multiple pocket-forming may include one transmitter and at least one or more receivers, being the transmitter the source of energy and the receiver the device that is desired to charge or power. ‘The antenna arrangements may vary in size and geometry, and may operate as a single array, pair array, quad arrays or any other suitable arrangement, which may be designed in accordance with the desired application.

主权项

1. A method for transmitting wireless power, the method comprising:
transmitting, by a first set of antennas of a transmitter, a first set of power waves forming a first constructive interference pattern in proximity to a location of a first receiver; simultaneously transmitting, by a second set of antennas of the transmitter, a second set of power waves forming a second constructive interference pattern in proximity to a location of a second receiver; receiving, by a communications component of the transmitter, a first communication signal from the first receiver and a second communication signal from the second receiver; and adjusting, by a controller of the transmitter, at least one of the first set of antennas and the second set of antennas such that the power waves of at least one of the first and second sets of power waves are transmitted to a new location of at least one of the first and second receivers indicated by the first and second communications signals, while transmitting at least one power wave from at least one antenna of the transmitter.
