The embodiments described herein include a transmitter that transmits a power transmission signal (e.g., radio frequency (RF) signal waves) to create a three-dimensional pocket of energy. At least one receiver can be connected to or integrated into electronic devices and receive power from the pocket of energy. The transmitter can locate the at least one receiver in a three-dimensional space using a communication medium (e.g., Bluetooth technology). The transmitter generates a waveform to create a pocket of energy around each of the at least one receiver. The transmitter uses an algorithm to direct, focus, and control the waveform in three dimensions. The receiver can convert the transmission signals (e.g., RF signals) into electricity for powering an electronic device. Accordingly, the embodiments for wireless power transmission can allow powering and charging a plurality of electrical devices without wires.

The system of claim 11, wherein the transmitter is further configured to, when the power level associated with the electronic device is above a predetermined threshold, adjust the first group of antennas to reduce the number of antennas in the first group. 13. The system of claim 12, wherein a number and type of antennas in the first group of antennas is based on a range and power transmission capability of the transmitter, wherein the fewer the N number of antennas in the first group results in a narrower range and a lower power delivery of the pocket of energy to the electronic device. 14. The system of claim 12, wherein the predetermined threshold is determined by a power table associated with the electronic device. 15. The system of claim 11, wherein the transmitter is further configured to, when the power level associated with the electronic device is below a predetermined threshold, adjust the first group of the plurality of antennas to increase a number of antennas in the first group. 16. The system of claim 15, wherein a number and type of antennas in the first group of antennas is based on a range and power transmission capability of the transmitter, wherein the greater the N number of antennas in the first group results in a wider range and a higher power delivery of the pocket of energy to the electronic device. 17.
