POWER COUPLINGS IN TRANSMITTERS FOR WIRELESS POWER TRANSMISSION
First Claim
1. A method for wireless power transmission to an electronic device, comprising the steps of:
- emitting power RF waves from a pocket-forming transmitter having a power coupling to a power source for generating pockets of energy;
coupling a receiver to an electronic device;
capturing the pockets of energy at the receivers; and
powering or charging the electronic device from the captured pockets of energy.

Abstract
The present disclosure may provide various electric transmitter arrangements which may be used to provide wireless power transmission (WPT) while using suitable WPT techniques such as pocket-forming. In some embodiments, transmitters may include one or more antennas connected to at least one radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) and one microcontroller. Transmitters may include communications components which may allow for communication to various electronic equipment including phones, computers and others. Transmitters for wireless power transmission may be feed by a power source, which may have suitable connection with transmitters through several power couplings, including screw caps for light sockets, cables, power plugs among others. Power couplings may depend on final application and user preferences.
