Abstract
The design of an innovative rectenna system, to be used for collection of the energy delivered from space solar power satellites, is presented in this work. The problem is formulated as an optimization one, where the positions of the antenna elements are properly chosen, to maximize the total amount of power received by the rectenna. A number of options are presented, by looking to the problem from the novel wireless power transmission point of view.
