Microwave power transmission technologies for SPS

Abstract

This paper describes the wireless power transmission via microwave (MPT) system for the Space Solar Power Station/Satellite (SPS). The SPS will be hugest space system and we need high efficient, huge, high accurate, light weight and inexpensive phased array for the SPS. Now we do not have any commercial MPT system on ground. Therefore, we have to consider the roadmap of the MPT system from the ground application to the SPS. We propose three step application of the MPT as follows; 1st Step: Weak Power Wireless Power Transmission (Ubiquitous Power Source, RF-ID, Energy Harvesting) under Present Radio Wave Configuration or High Power Wireless Power Transmission in Closed Area 2nd Step: High Power Wireless Power Transmission to/from Moving Target/Source with Phased Array under New Radio Wave Configuration (Special Frequency for WPT) on Ground 3rd (Final) Step: Wireless Power Transmission in Space (SPS).
