Claim 18:
19. The shelving-mounted wireless-power-transmitting and receiving system of claim 18, wherein the shelving-mounted wireless-power-transmitting device comprises:
a mounting structure that is mountable to a shelving unit, the shelving unit having a predetermined height and a predetermined width, wherein the mounting includes a first end coupled to an outer portion of the shelving unit and a second end opposite the first end extending a predetermined distance away from the outer portion of the shelving unit, the second end including:
a ground plane,
a first plurality of conductive segments having a first shape and a first size, each of the first plurality of conductive segments disposed over the ground plane;
a second plurality of conductive segments having a second shape and a second size, the second shape being distinct from the first shape and the second size being distinct from the first size, wherein a respective conductive segment of the second plurality of conductive segments separates adjacent conductive segments of the first plurality of conductive segments from one another, and
the first and second pluralities of conductive segments being disposed over the ground plane to form an antenna that is configured to radiate radio-frequency (RF) wireless power waves towards the shelving unit such that (i) the predetermined height and the predetermined width of the shelving unit are within a coverage area of the RF wireless power waves, and (ii) a bottom shelf of the shelving unit receives at least a threshold amount of RF energy from the RF wireless power waves.
