Abstract
A complete microwave power transmission system for a long-endurance, high-altitude (60,000 ft.) airship is described. The system includes an electronically steerable, active phased-array consisting of thousands of identical radiating modules to beam the power, and a light weight, thin-film rectenna mounted on the underside of the airship to absorb and rectifying the incoming microwave power. Application to an airplane is also discussed.
