Potential WPT System Initialization Steady State Supplier searches for participating devices (which may or may not have charge) Small fraction of power reflected by device, allowing supplier to find new location Talk Session 5 Friday,17:45 (Selective Collapse of Nonlinear Time Reversed Electromagnetic Waves)
Limitations And Future Work Transfer efficiency Use multiple channels Environmental losses Investigate and mitigate Dead time Use dedicated hardware TX and calculate new sona simultaneously These limitations are dependent on our lab equipment, they are not fundamental limitations of the technique 12
