Abstract
The relationship between microwave techniques and the growing concern for future sources of energy is reviewed. The relationship is specifically explored in the use of a microwave beam to efficiently transport power from an array of solar photovoltaic cells in space to the earth´s surface. The transition from a laboratory technology of microwave power transmission to a 10-GW 23 200-mi transmission system is examined in detail.
