Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) A harmonics-based retrodirective system (HBRS) is proposed for microwave power transmission to an airplane for weight saving. Re-radiation of rectenna harmonics is adopted for the pilot signal in the HBRS. It is necessary for actualizing the HBRS to evaluate harmonic re-radiation from rectennas. In this paper, we fabricated a rectenna which are on a thin and lightweight substrate, and conducted simulations and experiments. From the electromagnetic simulations, radiation patterns of harmonics were obtained. From the circuit simulations, we obtained the load characteristics of harmonics. From the experiments, the 2nd and the 3rd harmonic re-radiation patterns were measured, and re-radiation patterns and the load characteristics agreed with the simulations. The re-radiation patterns of array of two rectennas were consisted with the patterns calculated from the array factor.
