Integrated wireless resonant power charging and communication channel

A wireless powering device for providing wireless power to a target device, the wireless powering device comprising:

• a power source;
• a communication circuit configured to receive a wireless power communication from the target device, the wireless power communication including target device authentication information;
• a target device authenticator coupled to the communication circuit, the target device authenticator configured to determine, based on the target device authentication information, a target resonant frequency and a target operating parameter to be used for transfer of wireless power to the target device;
• and
• a resonant coupling component coupled to the power source and to the target device authenticator, the resonant coupling component configured to receive information from the target device authenticator regarding the target resonant frequency and the target operating parameter, wherein the resonant coupling component is configured to be dynamically tuned to generate a wireless power transmission based upon the target resonant frequency and the target operating parameter to transfer wireless power to the target device.
