Claim 0:
1. A wireless power transfer system comprising:
a wireless power transmission system comprising:
a transmitter antenna configured to couple with at least one other antenna and transmit alternating current (AC) wireless signals to the at least one other antenna, the AC wireless signals including wireless power signals and wireless data signals;
a first integrated circuit including
a transmission controller that is configured to:
(i) provide a driving signal for driving the transmitter antenna based on an operating frequency for the wireless power transfer system and an operating mode for transmission of the AC wireless signals,
(ii) perform one or more of encoding the wireless data signals, decoding the wireless data signals, receiving the wireless data signals, or transmitting the wireless data signals, and
(iii) determine the operating mode for transmission of the AC wireless signals, wherein the operating mode includes a power level for the wireless power signals and a data rate for the wireless data signals, the power level chosen from a series of available power levels and the data rate chosen from a series of available data rates, each of the series of available power levels corresponding to one of the series of available data rates, wherein corresponding pairs of available power levels and available data rates are inversely related; and

an amplifier, the amplifier including at least one transistor that is configured to receive the driving signal at a gate of the at least one transistor and invert a direct power (DC) input power signal to generate the AC wireless signals at the operating frequency; and

a wireless power receiver system comprising:
a receiver antenna configured for coupling with the transmitter antenna and receiving the AC wireless signals from the transmitter antenna, the receiver antenna operating based on the operating frequency;
a power conditioning system configured to (i) receive the wireless power signals, (ii) convert the wireless power signals from an AC wireless power signal to a DC wireless power signal, and (iii) provide the DC power signal to, at least, a load associated with the wireless power receiver system; and
a second integrated circuit including a receiver controller configured to perform one or more of encoding the wireless data signals, decoding the wireless data signals, receiving the wireless data signals, or transmitting the wireless data signals.
