1. A method of operating a transceiver system wirelessly communicatively coupled to a client power receiver, the transceiver system including an antenna array, a processor, and a memory, the transceiver system and the client power receiver positioned in an environment, said method comprising:

  • receiving, from the client power receiver and at a plurality of elements of the antenna array, a signal, wherein each element of the plurality of elements is positioned relative to one another in a fixed geometry;

    determining, by at least one of the processor and the antenna array, and based at least in part on the fixed geometry, a value of at least one waveform characteristic of the signal received at the each element;

    computing, by the processor and based on the determined value of the at least one waveform characteristic, a transmission path of the signal from the client power receiver to the each element;

    calculating, by the processor, an intersection point based on the computed transmission path of the signal from the client power receiver to the each element; and

    assigning, by the processor and based on the intersection point, a location of the client power receiver in the environment.
