Abstract
The purpose of this work is to survey ground based antenna systems, specifically rectifying antennas (rectennas) for space solar powered application of Microwave Wireless Power Transfer (MWPT). The ground rectenna along with its circuit components (a receiving antenna, an input Low-Pass Filter (LPF), a rectifying circuit, and an output smoothing filter) is the basic building block of the high-power receiving array that is designed to capture and then convert the microwave energy into Direct Current (DC). Once in DC form, the energy is used for various human applications on earth.
