Abstract(in English) When arranging an array of half-wavelength dipole antenna-type rectennas, it has been reported that each element not only receives power as a rectenna but also functions as a directors of Yagi-Uda antennas, transmitting power to adjacent elements simultaneously. In this study, in order to miniaturize this power-receiving and waveguide-integrated rectenna array, inductance was loaded, and the S21 characteristics of each rectenna constituting the array and the wireless power transmission efficiency were determined through electromagnetic field analysis and theoretical calculations. As a result, in the 2.4 GHz band, it was revealed that a dipole antenna-type rectenna with a reduced element length from half-wavelength to 0.35λ could achieve higher wireless power transmission efficiency by loading an 18 nH inductor. Furthermore, when the distance between the transmitting and receiving rectennas was set at 30 mm, it was demonstrated that by placing the parasitic rectennas as relay rectennas at 5 mm intervals in between, the S21 characteristics could be improved. Additionally, it was revealed that these relay rectennas could also function as receiving rectennas. This study elucidates that by loading inductors and miniaturizing the rectennas, they can operate as receiving rectennas while simultaneously acting as waveguide elements when arrayed, and placing these rectennas between the transmitter and receiver can effectively enhance power transmission efficiency.
