Abstract: A method of manufacturing an antenna for transmission or receipt of wireless power includes disposing a first antenna molecule on a first surface, the first surface comprising a dielectric material and disposing a second antenna molecule on a second surface. The method further includes positioning the first surface and the second surface such that the dielectric material is positioned between the first antenna molecule and the second antenna molecule and the first antenna molecule and the second antenna molecule partially overlap.

Abstract: An antenna for a wireless power receiver system includes a plurality of polygonal receiver coils, each of the plurality of polygonal receiver coils including three or more sides and at least one turn disposed along each of the three or more sides. Each of the plurality of polygonal receiver coils are disposed, with respect to one another, to form a combined polygonal shape, the combined polygonal shape having at least three combined sides.

Abstract: An antenna for wireless power transmission includes a source coil comprised of a first conductive wire, the source coil including a first outer turn and a first inner turn, the source coil configured to connect to one or more electronic components for wireless power transfer. The antenna further includes an internal repeater coil comprised of a second conductive wire, the internal repeater coil including a second outer turn and a second inner turn, the internal repeater coil configured to have a repeater current induced in the second outer turn and the second inner turn.

Abstract: An antenna for wireless power transmission includes a source antenna molecule configured for wired electrical connection to one or more electrical components of a wireless power transmission system. The antenna further includes one or more connected antenna molecules connected to the source antenna and one another via a wired, series electrical connection, each of the source antenna and the one or more connected antenna molecules at least partially overlapping with another of the source antenna and the one or more connected antenna molecules.

Abstract: A system for wireless power transfer includes a wireless transmission system and a wireless receiver system. The wireless transmission system includes a transmission antenna configured to transmit one or both of wireless power signals and wireless data signals within a large charge area, the large charge area having a length of in a range of 50 millimeters (mm) to 300 mm and a width in a range of 150 to 500 mm. The wireless receiver system includes a receiver antenna, the receiver antenna including a plurality of receiver coils, each of the plurality of receiver coils configured to receive one or both of the wireless power signals and the wireless data signals within the large charge area.

Abstract: A wireless power transfer system is provided for a peripheral device, including a wireless receiver system in the peripheral device, the wireless receiver system having a receiver antenna configured to receive the wireless power signals and wireless data signals via inductive coupling with the transmission antenna. The receiver antenna includes a first central opening and a shield adjacent the receiver antenna, the shield having therein a second central opening, with a sensor located within both the first and second central openings, the sensor being configured to sense a position of the peripheral device.
