Abstract

This paper reviews the progress in the design of rectennas which are used to collect and rectify the microwave energy at the receiving end of a microwave beam power transmission system. A new light-weight rectenna which provides 20 watts of power but weighs only 20 grams is described. Future trends in construction are discussed.
