1. A method for wireless transmission of power to an electronic medical device or a sensor, comprising:

  • connecting a transmitter to a power source within a medical facility or patient room;

    generating pocket forming power RF signals from a RF circuit embedded within the transmitter;

    generating communication signals from a communication circuit embedded within the transmitter;

    controlling the generated power RF signals and the communication signals with a digital signal processor;

    transmitting the power RF and communication signals through at least two antennas electrically connected to the RF and communication circuits within the transmitter;

    capturing pockets of energy produced by the pocket-forming power RF signals in converging in 3-D space at a receiver with an antenna connected to the medical device or sensor for converting the pockets of energy into a DC voltage for charging or powering the medical device or sensor; and

    receiving the communication signals at the receiver to generate location, power requirements or other information between the transmitter and receiver of the electronic medical device or sensor.
