Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 8:
9. A device 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 transmitter tuning system in electrical connection with the transmitter antenna;
an integrated circuit including
a transmitter controller that is configured to (i) provide a driving signal for driving the transmitter antenna based on an operating frequency for wireless power transfer and (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
a damping circuit that is configured to dampen the AC wireless signals during transmission of the wireless data signals, wherein the damping circuit includes at least a damping transistor that is configured to receive, from the transmitter controller, a damping signal for switching the damping transistor to control damping during transmission of the wireless data signals, the damping circuit connected in electrical parallel with the transmitter tuning system; 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.
