A power transmission circuit is connected to a power transmission coil having a coil aperture. The power transmission circuit includes a conductive or magnetic power-transmission-coil near member opposed to the coil aperture of the power transmission coil, and a repeating coil arranged on a side opposite to a side on which the power-transmission-coil near member is arranged with respect to the power transmission coil and coupled to the power transmission coil at least via a magnetic field. When a shortest distance between the power transmission coil and the power-transmission-coil near member is expressed as (dt1) and a shortest distance between the power transmission coil and the repeating coil is expressed as (dt2), dt2dt1.

A wireless power adapter uses a passive conversion circuit to convert an incompatible transmitter-receiver pair into a compatible transmitter-receiver pair. The wireless power adapter transfers power between a main transmitter and main receiver that are incompatible with each other. In one aspect, the wireless power adapter includes an auxiliary receiver coil system, a auxiliary transmitter coil system and a passive conversion circuit. The auxiliary receiver coil system is compatible with the main transmitter and can efficiently receive wireless power transmitted by the main transmitter that is external to the adapter. The auxiliary transmitter coil system is compatible with the main receiver and can produce wireless power to be efficiently transmitted to the main receiver. The passive conversion circuit connects the incompatible main transmitter and main receiver by transferring power from the auxiliary receiver coil system to the auxiliary transmitter coil system.

In a first radio frequency (RF) device, circuits determine a non-line-of-sight (NLOS) radio path, and select a first plurality of reflector devices associated with the NLOS radio path from a second plurality of reflector devices. The first plurality of reflector devices, are selected based on a first set of criteria, includes an active reflector device and a passive reflector device, and are controlled to transmit a plurality of RF signals to a second RF device based on a second set of criteria. The second RF device is associated with electronic devices. The first RF signal interferes with a second RF signal of the RF signals. A first type of signal associated with the plurality of RF signals is converted to a second type of signal at the second RF device, and the second type of signal is transmitted by the second RF device to the one or more electronic devices.
