Reach Power, Inc. SBIR Phase I Award, November 2022

Reach Labs (Reach) is the industry technology leader in Wireless Power Transfer (WPT). Reach’s WPT technology provides wireless power-at-a-distance and does for electric power what Wi-Fi did for data. Reach’s wireless power system is composed of power transmitters, power receivers, and management software. Power receivers are rectifying antennas – rectennas – that receive RF and rectify it into power. The system is built on state-of-the-art, patented technology, including high-efficiency power converters, network optimization algorithms, and adaptive electromagnetic surfaces. This study will focus on the feasibility of building a generic power receiver that could be used by UAVs, eVTOLs, and robots to extend their mission capabilities.
