Abstract: Systems and methods are described for operating a waveguide device having multiple slots, each slot having one or more switches. The waveguide device receives, from a circuit controller, an instruction to dynamically deactivate one or more switches to open selected ones of the multiple slots at determined locations in the waveguide device and to dynamically activate one or more switches to close selected ones of the multiple slots at determined locations in the waveguide device, wherein the circuit controller is communicatively coupled to each of the switches on the waveguide device. The waveguide device transmits a wave in a target direction based at least in part on the locations of the open selected ones of the multiple slots at the determined locations in the waveguide device.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure describe techniques for encoding beacon signals in wireless power delivery environments. More specifically, techniques are disclosed for encoding beacon signals to isolate client devices for wireless power delivery in wireless power delivery environments. The beacon signals can be encoded or modulated with a transmission code that is provided to selected clients in the wireless power delivery environment. In this manner, beacon signals from the select clients can be identified and the corresponding client devices isolated for wireless power delivery. In some embodiments, the transmission code can be a pseudorandom sequence that is used by the wireless power delivery clients to encode transmitted beacon signals.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present technology generally relate to wireless power transmitter and antenna configurations for transmitting wireless power to one or more clients. In some embodiments, the wireless power transmitter includes boards having multiple antennas (i.e., an Antenna Matrix Board(s) (AMB)). The antennas can be on one side of each AMB board, while the control and power circuitry are on the reverse side. The antennas emit electromagnetic (EM) radiant energy that the client(s) receive, store, and/or use for communication with the charger or for the client device battery charging process. The antenna boards can be arranged in a configuration to increase (e.g., optimize) the amount of power transmitted to client(s). In various embodiments, the boards are arranged in polygonal shape as individual flat panels physically coupled to a support structure and attached to the CCB by plug in multiple pin connectors unique in mechanical design.
