Apparatuses and systems are provided for improving wireless power transmission for mobile devices. An enclosure for a mobile device may include a first electrical coil configured to establish a first wireless coupling with a transmitter coil of a power supply and a second electrical coil configured to establish a second wireless coupling with the first electrical coil and to establish a third wireless coupling with a receiver coil of a mobile device. A distance between the receiver coil and the transmitter coil may exceed a range over which the transmitter coil may be able to transfer power to the receiver coil via a single wireless coupling between the transmitter coil and the receiver coil. The first wireless coupling, the second wireless coupling, and the third wireless coupling, when established, may enable the transmitter coil to perform a wireless power transfer to the receiver coil.

A low power transmitter includes a low frequency feedback loop, a high frequency switching element embedded within the low frequency feedback loop, and a mixer electrically communicating with the low frequency feedback loop and the high frequency switching element. The low frequency feedback loop employs either a voltage mode interface or a current mode interface. The high frequency switching element includes a first transistor, a second transistor, and a pair of inductive elements. Alternatively, the high frequency switching element includes a single transistor and a single inductive element.

A magnetic alignment system can include a primary annular magnetic alignment component and a secondary annular magnetic alignment component. The primary alignment component can include an inner annular region having a first magnetic orientation, an outer annular region having a second magnetic orientation opposite to the first magnetic orientation, and a non-magnetized central annular region disposed between the primary inner annular region and the primary outer annular region. The secondary alignment component can have a magnetic orientation with a radial component. Additional features, such as a rotational magnetic alignment component and/or an NFC coil and circuitry can be included.

Wireless transceiver devices are disclosed herein that enhance and otherwise extend the wireless power transmission range of a retrodirective wireless power transmission system. The wireless transceiver devices can be configured to operate, in whole or in part, as additional wireless power transmission systems enhancing range of the retrodirective wireless power transmission system and/or delivering supplemental wireless power to devices within range.
