Abstract
Techniques for static tuning retro-directive wireless power transmission systems are described herein. The techniques described herein include systems, methods and software for establishing a static tuning mode for a retro-directive wireless power transmission system. The static tuning mode can generate an extended stable power sphere that facilitates accurate RF and other measurements. Additionally, techniques are provided for characterizing the wireless power delivery paths.
Claims20
A method of statically tuning a retro-directive wireless power transmission system for providing wireless power to client devices in a wireless power delivery environment, the method comprising:
- selecting a static tuning configuration indicating multiple wireless power transmission settings, each wireless power transmission setting including transmission parameters for configuring one or more transceivers of multiple transceivers of the wireless power transmission system;
- and
- transmitting, by the wireless power transmission system, wireless power while successively transitioning through each of the multiple wireless power transmission settings.
A retro-directive wireless power transmission system, comprising:
- an adaptively-phased antenna array having multiple radio frequency (RF) transceivers;
- control circuitry configured to statically tune the retro-directive wireless power transmission system, the control circuitry including:
- selection logic configured to select a static tuning configuration indicating multiple wireless power transmission settings responsive to receiving an indication to enter a static tuning mode, and
- transceiver control logic configured to direct the multiple RF transceivers to transmit wireless power while successively transitioning through each of the multiple wireless power transmission settings, wherein each wireless power transmission setting includes transmission parameters for configuring one or more transceivers of the multiple RF transceivers of the wireless power transmission system.
A computer readable storage medium having program instructions stored thereon which, when executed by one or more processors of a wireless power transmission system, cause the wireless power transmission system to:
- select a static tuning configuration indicating multiple wireless power transmission settings, wherein each wireless power transmission setting includes transmission parameters for configuring one or more transceivers of multiple transceivers of the wireless power transmission system;
- and
- direct the wireless power transmission system to transmit wireless power while successively transitioning through each of the multiple wireless power transmission settings.
