Abstract
A method of operating a transceiver system includes receiving, from a client power receiver, a signal at a plurality of antenna elements of an antenna array. The method also includes determining, by at least one of the antenna array and a processor of the transceiver system, and based at least in part on a fixed geometry of the plurality of antenna elements, a value of at least one waveform characteristic of the received signal. The method further includes computing, by the processor and based on the determined value of the at least one waveform characteristic, a transmission path of the signal from the client power receiver to each antenna element. The method also includes, assigning, by the processor and based on the computed transmission path, a location of the client power receiver in a wireless data transmission and power delivery environment.
