Abstract
A wireless power transfer and harvesting system that can be integrated with fabric is provided. The wireless power transfer and harvesting system includes a transmitter antenna for wirelessly transferring power and a receiver antenna operatively coupled to the transmitter antenna for receiving the power. At least one of the transmitter antenna and the receiver antenna can be formed with a shape of an anchor to inhibit effects of lateral and/or angular positional misalignments of the transmitter antenna or the receiver antenna upon power transfer efficiency of the system.
