Abstract
This paper describes the importance, general principle and main factors that must be considered in the design of a system both onboard as well as the ground segment, for a Space Solar Power system. Also explained are the design and realization of a functional demonstration model of the system (microwave to DC), especially the detector circuit that is part of rectenna system, which converts microwave energy into electricity.
