Abstract
A system includes a structure configured to exchange the energy wirelessly via a coupling of evanescent waves. The structure is non-radiative, and generates an electromagnetic (EM) near-field in response to receiving the energy. The structure is configured to exchange the energy when the structure is in the resonant mode. The system also includes a tuning module configured to transition the structure in and out of the resonant mode based on an instruction, an energy monitor module configured to determine the instruction based on information indicative of the energy stored and/or exchange by the structure, and a transceiver configured to transmit and/or to receive the instruction.
