TECHNIQUES FOR CHARGING BEACON-FREE PASSIVE CLIENTS IN MULTIPATH WIRELESS POWER DELIVERY ENVIRONMENTS

摘要

Embodiments of the present disclosure describe techniques for providing wireless power to passive (or non-beaconing) clients in ‘active beaconing’ multipath wireless power delivery environments. To facilitate these techniques, a calibration apparatus (or ‘beaconing wand’) and techniques for use thereof are described. In some embodiments, the calibration apparatus facilitates wireless power transfer from the wireless power transmission system to the passive client by establishing communications with the wireless power transmission system and/or the passive client and broadcasting surrogate beacon signals when proximate to the passive client.
