Feasibility study of microwave wireless powered flight for micro air vehicles

Abstract: New small unmanned air vehicles designated as micro air vehicles (MAVs) are increasingly attractive for research, environmental observation, and commercial purposes. As described herein, the feasibility of a system for wireless power transmission via microwaves for MAVs was investigated. For its light weight and flexibility, a textile-based rectenna was proposed for microwave wireless power transmission of MAVs. To investigate bending effects on radiation performance, a microstrip patch antenna with a 5.8 GHz … Show more

“…Applications of MWPT for mobile robots include micro UAV with mW power requirements [71], proof-of-concept mini airship at 0.83 W [72], a charging mat area for ground robots [73], a lowpower 4 W rover [74], and for pipe inspection robot [75]. To adhere with safety regulation, the power transmitted was either kept low [71], thus limiting the power output, or required the use of waveguide to contain the radiation [73,75].…”

“…1 The retroreflector results in increased monostatic radar cross-section (RCS), this feature has been used in civil and military applications such as autonomous vehicle, microwave power transfer system, Internet of things (IoT) device, and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) calibration. [2][3][4][5][6][7] They require not only good efficiency, operation at wide incident angle, and response to TE/TM polarization, but also low-profile, lightweight, and easy fabrication process.…”
