1. A receiver device comprising:

  • an antenna element configured to receive one or more power transmission waves that converged to form a pocket of energy and generate an electrical current by harvesting energy from the one or more power transmission waves, wherein the electrical current is in an alternating current form of electricity;

    a rectifier coupled to the antenna element and configured to rectify the alternating current form of electricity into a direct current form of electricity;

    a power converter coupled to the rectifier and configured to generate a constant voltage output of electrical current in the form of direct current, wherein the power converter is communicatively coupled to an electronic device associated with the receiver, and wherein the receiver provides the direct current to the electronic device; and

    a communications component configured to transmit a communication signal to a transmitter device, wherein the communication signal identifies the receiver to the transmitter and indicates the location of the receiver relative to the transmitter.
