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, comprising:
generating two or more RF waves from a transmitter with at least two RF transmit antennas; forming controlled constructive and destructive interference patterns from the generated RF waves by a radio frequency integrated circuit controlled by a microcontroller; accumulating energy or power in the form of constructive interference patterns from the RF waves to form pockets of energy; converging the pockets of energy in 3-d space to a targeted electronic device; arranging the antennas in an array optimal for charging or operating the targeted electronic device with the pockets of energy.
