Multiband wireless power system
First Claim
1. A module for relaying power wirelessly to an implanted device, comprising:
- an external module;
a receiver configured to receive a first wireless power transmission at a first frequency;
a transmitter configured to transmit a second wireless power transmission at a second frequency different from the first frequency;
a frequency changer coupled to the receiver, the frequency changer configured to convert energy generated by the first wireless power transmission into energy for generating the second wireless power transmission; and
at least one from the group consisting of the receiver, transmitter, and frequency changer are disposed at least one from the group consisting of on the external module and in the external module.

Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a module for relaying power wirelessly to a device implanted in a user. The module may include a structure adapted to be worn by the user, a receiver configured to receive a first wireless power transmission at a first frequency, a transmitter configured to transmit a second wireless power transmission at a second frequency different from the first frequency, and a frequency changer configured to convert energy generated by the first wireless power transmission into energy for generating the second wireless power transmission. Each of the receiver, transmitter and frequency changer may be disposed on or in the structure.
