  • Publication number: 20160127012
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein for filtering and/or otherwise isolating or extracting components of multi-component signals. More specifically, embodiments of the present disclosure describe techniques for filtering and/or otherwise extracting a continuous wave component (or wireless power component) and a modulated data component from a multi-component signal. In some embodiments, the techniques describe systems, apparatuses and methods for filtering and/or otherwise isolating or extracting a frequency (e.g., modulated data component) from a continuous wave (e.g., wireless power component) without affecting the levels of other frequencies. The individual components or signals can be transmitted by one or more sources and received at one or more existing antennas of an electronic device simultaneously.

  • Publication number: 20160033254
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein for determining the distance from, to or between radiating objects in a multipath environment. For example, embodiments of the present disclosure describe techniques for determining the distance between an antenna array system (or wireless charger) and a wireless power receiver in a multipath wireless power delivery environment. Calibration techniques are disclosed that account for and/or otherwise quantify the multipath effects of the wireless power delivery environment. In some embodiment, the quantified multipath effects modify the Friis transmission equation, thereby facilitating the distance determination in multipath environments.
