Abstract

A radio power transmission system and a radio power transmission method are provided. The radio power transmission system includes a first radio device and a second radio device including a control signal generator and an antenna. The control signal generator generates a control signal for synchronizing frequencies and phases of power waves, based on signals indicating reception intensities of the power waves in a receiving device receiving the power waves. The antenna transmits the control signal to a plurality of the first radio devices. In the radio power transmission system, the plurality of first radio devices radiate, toward the receiving device, the power waves having the frequencies and phases set to a predetermined value based on the control signal.

Claims (12)

1. A radio power transmission system, comprising:

a plurality of first radio devices radiating power waves; and

a second radio device including a control signal generator and an antenna, the control signal generator generating a control signal for synchronizing frequencies and phases of the power waves based on signals indicating reception intensities of the power waves in a receiving device receiving the power waves, the antenna transmitting the control signal to the plurality of first radio devices, wherein

the plurality of first radio devices radiate, toward the receiving device, the power waves having the frequencies and phases set to a predetermined value based on the control signal.

2. The radio power transmission system according to claim 1 , wherein

the control signal generator further generates a frequency setting signal for setting different frequencies respectively for a first group of the first radio devices among the plurality of first radio devices and a second group of the first radio devices among the plurality of first radio devices, and wherein

the first group of the first radio devices radiates the power waves having the frequencies set to a first value based on the frequency setting signal, toward a first receiving device, and

the second group of the first radio devices radiates the power waves having the frequencies set to a second value different from the first value based on the frequency setting signal, toward a second receiving device.

3. A radio power transmission method, comprising:

generating, by a second radio device that performs radio communication with a plurality of first radio devices, a control signal based on signals indicating reception intensities of power waves in a receiving device, the power waves being radiated from the plurality of first radio devices and being received by the receiving device, the control signal being a signal for synchronizing frequencies and phases of the power waves;

transmitting, by the second radio device, the control signal to the plurality of first radio devices through an antenna; and

radiating, by the plurality of first radio devices having received the control signal, the power waves having the frequencies and phases set to a predetermined value based on the control signal, toward the receiving device.
