Abstract
Technology for a multi-repeater system including wireless transmission of power from a first repeater to a second repeater is disclosed. A first and second repeater can be disposed opposite each other about a structural element. Wireless power can be transmitted from the first repeater through the structural element to the second repeater for use by the second repeater.
Claims40
A system comprising:
- a first repeater including,
- a first wireless power unit having a first wireless power coupler configured to wirelessly transmit a portion of Direct Current (DC) or Alternating Current (AC) electrical power received from a power source;
- and
- a first bi-directional amplifier, configured to amplify one or more RF communication signals, wherein the first bi-directional amplifier is powered by the power source;
- a second repeater including,
- a second wireless power unit having a second wireless power coupler configured to receive the wireless power, and the second wireless power unit is configured to convert the wireless power to DC or AC electrical power, and
- a second bi-directional amplifier, configured to amplify the one or more RF communication signals, wherein the second bi-directional amplifier is powered by the DC or AC electrical power from the second wireless power unit;
- a structural element disposed between the first repeater and the second repeater;
- and a conductive material integral to the structural element configured to be disposed between the first repeater and the second repeater, wherein the conductive material includes one or more openings configured to be disposed between the first wireless power coupler and the second wireless power coupler.
