The present invention involves systems and methods of bimodal near-field wireless power transfer for simultaneous capacitive and inductive power transfer by adjustable transfer mode ratio of capacitive to inductive power transfer at a variable power signal oscillation frequency, wherein transmitter pairs are electrically decoupled from one another. The method involves providing a transmission surface of transmitter resonators; monitoring input impedance of each transmitter resonator; calibrating baseline input impedance for the transmitter resonators; and either assigning an off state when input impedance is less than baseline impedance; or assigning an active state to the transmitter resonator when input impedance is greater. A further aspect involves near-field resonant wireless electrical power transfer system having software that measures input impedance of corresponding transmitter resonators and a test signal power draws; and selects a frequency from a lookup table based on the input impedance of the corresponding transmitter resonator and the test signal power draw.
