NEAR-FIELD WIRELESS POWER TRANSMISSION TECHNIQUES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240030739 titled 'NEAR-FIELD WIRELESS POWER TRANSMISSION TECHNIQUES
Simplified Explanation
The disclosed patent application is for a wireless power transmitter that can wirelessly deliver power to a receiver device. The transmitter consists of multiple unit cells that emit radio frequency (RF) power transmission waves. Each unit cell includes a metal portion with an aperture surrounded by the metal, and an antenna aligned with the aperture. The antenna emits RF power transmission waves to wirelessly charge a receiver device. Some of the RF power transmission waves leak from the transmitter through the aperture when the receiver device is within a certain distance from the unit cell.
- The wireless power transmitter consists of multiple unit cells that emit RF power transmission waves.
- Each unit cell has a metal portion with an aperture surrounded by the metal.
- An antenna aligned with the aperture emits RF power transmission waves for wirelessly charging a receiver device.
- Some of the RF power transmission waves leak from the transmitter through the aperture when the receiver device is within a certain distance.
Potential Applications:
- Wireless charging of electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, and wearables.
- Powering IoT devices without the need for physical connections.
- Charging electric vehicles wirelessly.
Problems Solved:
- Eliminates the need for physical connections and cables for charging devices.
- Provides a convenient and efficient method for wirelessly charging devices.
- Reduces clutter and simplifies charging processes.
Benefits:
- Enables easy and convenient charging of devices without the need for cables or connectors.
- Provides flexibility in device placement and movement during charging.
- Reduces wear and tear on charging ports and cables.
- Enables charging of multiple devices simultaneously.
- Simplifies charging infrastructure in public spaces and homes.
Original Abstract Submitted
disclosed is a wireless power transmitter for wirelessly delivering power to a receiver device, the wireless power transmitter including: a plurality of unit cells configured to radiate one or more radio frequency (rf) power transmission waves, each unit cell in the plurality of unit cells including: (i) a metal portion having an interior perimeter that surrounds an aperture defined by the metal portion; and (ii) an antenna that is aligned with the aperture in a first dimension, the antenna being configured to radiate one or more rf power transmission waves for wirelessly charging a receiver device. the one or more rf power transmission waves leak from the wireless power transmitter at least in part through the aperture when the receiver device is positioned within a threshold distance from the unit cell.
