`ABSTRACT
`(57)
`Described herein are improved configurations for a wireless
`power transfer. The parameters of components of the wireless
`energy transfer system are adjusted to control the power
`delivered to the load at the device. The power output of the
`source amplifier is controlled to maintain a substantially 50%
`duty cycle at the rectifier of the device.
