In this paper, the authors presented the long distances Microwave (MW) Wireless Power Transmission (WPT) concepts followed by the presentation of high altitude platform (HAPS) principles.Abstract:
The long distances Microwave (MW) Wireless Power Transmission (WPT) concepts are followed by the presentation of high Altitude Platforms (HAPS) principles. Stratospheric HAPS operation requiring up to a few hundreds kW of electrical power is limited by long sun eclipses. The realization of terrestrial MW WPT systems feeding HAPS could be useful for their long duration operation and for the preliminary tests of more complex and power demanding Solar Power Satellites (SPS) systems. Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI) and biological hazards issues will be discussed for selected frequencies and compared for terrestrial, HAPS and SPS long range MW WPT systems.read more

Rectenna panel design optimization for maximum RF power utilization
TL;DR: It has been proved theoretically in this paper that if a hexagonal shape panel is designed by placement of rectenna at vertices of equilateral triangle then, it is capable of intercepting maximum RF energy available at its location with the least number of rectennas.

Beamed microwave power transmission and its application to space
William C. Brown,E.E. Eves +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the general principles and special components of beamed microwave power transmission systems are outlined, and their application to the space program is discussed, and the application that is discussed in detail is a low-earthorbit-to-geostationary-orbit (LEO to GEO) transportation system that depends on vehicles propelled by electric thrusters whose power is supplied by a microwave beam originating at the earth's surface.
