Description
Summary:An algorithm for finding the parameters of the microwave beam used for power transportation from a space electric power station to the Earth is considered. It is shown that, for specified geometries of antenna and rectenna systems, it is possible to increase the received power if the density of the radiated power at the antenna center and the truncation parameter of the Gaussian field distribution are simultaneously increased. It is found that, in this case, the transmission efficiency decreases only slightly as compared to the case of optimum transmission. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
