  • Millimeter-Wave Wireless Power Transfer Technology for Space
    Millimeter-Wave Wireless Power Transfer Technology for Space Applications Goutam Chattopadhyay, Harish Manohara, Mohammad Mojarradi, Tuan Vo, Hadi Mojarradi, Sam Bae, Neville Marzwell California Institute of Technology, USA Introduction Technologies enabling the development of compact systems for wireless transfer of power through radio frequency waves (RF) continue to be important for future space based systems. For example, for lunar surface operation, wireless power transfer technology enables rapid on-demand transmission of power to loads (robotic systems, habitats, and others) and eliminates the need for establishing a traditional power grid. A typical wireless power receiver consists of an array of rectenna elements. Each rectenna element consists of an antenna together with a high speed diode and a storage capacitor configured in a highly tuned narrowband circuit for this purpose. The conversion of the microwave energy into DC in this fashion is almost instantaneous. Using a high power rectenna array in concert with a fast charging high performance battery can enable charging of the battery at very short time with a large power burst and discharge of it at a lower rate for an extended operation time for remote electronic assets. Two main factors that determine the physical size of a rectenna based microwave power conversion system are the frequency of the RF transmission and power capacity. At higher frequencies, the size of the antenna elements in the array is small resulting in a smaller form factor for the system. The smaller form factor of the higher frequency wireless power receiver makes them more attractive for space systems; however, higher frequency systems have to deal with (i) availability of high frequency power conversion components, (ii) higher atmospheric loss, and (iii) overall efficiency in antenna arrays and the power conversion network.

Email: [email protected] Received: 02 March 2021; Accepted: 04 April 2021 Abstract: This paper proposed the design of a dual-port rectifier with multi- frequency operations. The RF rectifier is achieved using a combination of L-section inductive impedance matching network (IMN) at Port-1 with a multiple stubs impedance transformer at Port-2. The fabricated prototype can harvest RF signal from GSM/900, GSM/1800, UMTS/2100, Wi-Fi/2.45 and LTE/2600 frequency bands at (0.94, 1.80, 2.10, 2.46, and 2.63 GHz), respectively. The rectifier occupies a small portion of a PCB board at 0.20 λg × 0.15 λg. The proposed circuit realized a measured peak RF-to-dc (radio frequency direct current) power conversion efficiency (PCE) of (21%, 22.76%, 25.33%, 21.57%, and 22.14%) for an input power of −20 dBm. The RF harvester attains a measured peak RF-to-dc PCE of 72.70% and an output dc voltage of 154 mV for an input power of 3 dBm at 2.46 GHz. Measurement of the proposed rectifier in the ambiance gives a peak dc output voltage of 376.1 mV from the five signal tones.

  • Wireless Power Transmission with Circularly Polarized
    WIRELESS POWER TRANSMISSION WITH CIRCULARLY POLARIZED RECTENNA Jwo-Shiun Sun 1, Ren-Hao Chen 1, Shao-Kai Liu 1, Cheng-Fu Yang 2, 1Graduate institute of computer and communication engineering National Taipei University of Technology, Taiwan 2Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering National University of Kaohsiung, Kaohsiung, Taiwan Abstract —Design of a novel circularly polarized (CP) rectenna (rectifying antenna) at 925MHz for wireless power transmission (WPT) applications involving wireless power transfer to low power consumption wireless device is proposed. In order to build the rectenna, a CP wide-slot antenna and a finite ground coplanar waveguide (CPW) circuit both with good impedance matching, have been developed. In addition, the size of the wide-slot antenna is smaller than the conventional slot antenna up to 60% when the meander line structure is adopted. The rectenna is the voltage-doubler rectifier with the low-pass filter (LPF) for efficiency optimization and higher order harmonics re-radiation elimination. According to the measured results, the maximum RF- to-DC conversion efficiency of the rectenna achieved 75% when the RF power of 15dBm is received with a load resistance of 2kΩ at free space. The experimental results prove that the proposed rectenna is suitable for the WPT applications. 1. INTRODUCTION Both wireless power transmission (WPT) [1] and solar power transmission (SPT) [2] are the promising techniques for the long-distance power supply of wireless applications, such as radio frequency identification (RFID) tags [3,4], wireless embedded sensors [5-7], medical implant with biotelemetry as a communication link [8,9], etc. The rectenna (rectifying antenna) is one of the most important components for above-mentioned techniques, which has great potential to deliver, collect and convert radio frequency (RF) energy into useful direct current (DC) power for neighbored electronic devices or to recharge batteries through free space without using the physical transmission line [10].
