An example method performed by a wireless-power-transmitting device that includes an antenna array is provided. The method includes radiating electromagnetic waves that form a maximum power level at a first distance away from the antenna array. Moreover, a power level of the radiated electromagnetic waves decreases, relative to the maximum power level, by at least a predefined amount at a predefined radial distance away from the maximum power level. In some embodiments, the method also includes detecting a location of a wireless-power-receiving device, whereby the location of the wireless-power-receiving device is further from the antenna array than a location of the maximum power level.

An antenna module includes a first antenna layer, including at least one main radiation unit including at least two main radiation patches symmetrically arranged and spaced apart from each other and at least one feeder portion located at or corresponds to a gap between adjacent two of the main radiation patches; a second antenna layer, stacked with the first antenna layer and including a reference ground arranged opposite to the main radiation patches and at least one microstrip insulated from the reference ground; at least one first electrically conductive member, electrically connected to the main radiation patches and the reference ground; and at least one second electrically conductive member, with an end being electrically connected to the feeder portion and another end being electrically connected to another end of the microstrip. An end of the microstrip is electrically connected to a radio frequency transceiver chip.

Disclosed is a quasi-omnidirectional antenna having three array faces, wherein each of the three array faces has a radiator array having a plurality of radiator columns. Each of the corresponding radiator columns on the radiator arrays are coupled together to a single pair of antenna ports, one per polarization. This results in a service beam having three gain lobes that can be swept in unison in a scan. By scanning the service beam, the antenna may enable a high-gain connection to a mobile device, emulating a high gain omnidirectional antenna. Further disclosed is a variation having four array faces spaced 90 degrees apart, which offers additional performance benefits.
