A method includes identifying a phase of a first signal received by a first transceiver from a second transceiver. The method includes determining transmission settings for the first transceiver based on the identified phase. The method includes generating, according to the transmission settings, a second signal for focusing on the second transceiver. Embodiments improve the power efficiency of wireless signal transmission.

Abstract: In retrodirective wireless power delivery environments wireless power receivers generate and send beacon signals that are received by multiple antennas of a wireless power transmission system. The beacon signals provide the charger with timing information for wireless power transfers and also indicate directionality of the incoming signal. As discussed herein, the directionality information is employed when transmitting in order to focus energy (e.g., power wave delivery) on individual wireless power receiver clients. Techniques are described herein for reducing the burden of sampling the beacon signals across the multiple antennas and determining the directionality of the incoming wave. In some embodiments, the techniques leverage previously calculated values to simplify the receiver sampling.

Abstract: The wireless power transmission is a system for providing wireless charging and/or primary power to electronic/electrical devices via microwave energy. The microwave energy is focused to a location by a power transmitter having one or more adaptively-phased microwave array emitters. Rectennas within the device to be charged receive and rectify the microwave energy and use it for battery charging and/or for primary power.

Abstract: Various wireless power transmission systems are provided for sensing an environment, e.g., using a neural network. For instance, phase information corresponding to wireless power transmission is input into a neural network framework, and then, distance information representative of a distance from a wireless power transmitter to an object is obtained as output from the neural network framework. Based on the distance information, a power of a subsequent wireless power transmission can be modified, or an environment comprising the object can be mapped.

Each receiver measures its own battery need for power and transmits that measurement as a request to the transmitter. The transmitter is configured to normalize and compare battery need requests. The transmitter then allocates pulses of wireless power among the requesting receivers according to their battery need.
