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:

• an integrated circuit formed including communication circuitry and source power manager circuitry, the integrated circuit coupled to resonant coupling circuitry, wherein the integrated circuit is configured to:
• receive a communication signal from the target device;
• determine, based on the communication signal, a location of the target device relative to the wireless powering device;
• and
• control the resonant coupling circuitry to generate a directional wireless power transmission, based on the location of the target device, to transfer wireless power to the target device.

A method for execution by a wireless powering device to provide wireless power for a target device, the method comprising:

• receiving a communication signal from the target device;
• based on the communication signal, determining a relative location of the target device;
• and
• based on the location of the target device, generating a directional wireless power transmission to transfer wireless power to the target device, wherein the directional wireless power transmission is via a non-radiated magnetic field generated by resonant coupling circuitry.
