A framework for matching long-range wireless power requirements with available technologies

There is a lot of interest in wireless charging as the next “cutting the power cord” revolution in consumer electronics. We often get asked

• What the capabilities of today’s wireless charging are, and
• How to best match the application with the right charging technology.

To answer these questions, we created a framework that explains the important attributes for a wireless power solution and discusses the performance limits of both infrared and RF technologies. The result is a simple graphical tool to help think about the best solution for a particular problem.

The framework can be downloaded here.
