Wireless power transmission for near and far field applications

The disclosed wireless transmitter estimates a client location in space and transmits power in the form of electromagnetic (EM) waves to that location. In response to receiving the power, a client sends a power request signal. In some implementations, the power request signal includes a request that the wireless transmitter transmit more power to the client. In response to the power request signal, the wireless transmitter can modify the power transmitted to the client to increase/decrease the amount of power the client is receiving. For example, the wireless transmitter can modify the emitted EM waves to increase coherent addition or decrease coherent addition at the location of the client to increase the amount of power the client receives. In some implementations, the wireless transmitter modifies the phase distribution of EM waves to increase the amount of power a client receives.
