Also, it is expected that energy harvesters at high frequencies will be developed for use with 5 G (28 GHz) and beyond 5G (110 GHz). We succeeded in the world's first sub-terahertz WPT using a gyrotron as a high-power oscillation source. At 303 GHz, a microstrip patch antenna was used for rectenna and record RF-DC conversion efficiency of 2.17 % and rectenna power density (DC output power per unit area) of 3.43 kW/m2. At 265 GHz, a coplanar slot antenna was used for rectenna and record a RF-DC conversion efficiency of 0.07 % and a rectenna power density of 0.09 kW/m2.

So far, we have developed a compact interferometric AOA antenna arranged in a circular array for ordinary ground-based car applications. The radiation pattern directs its beam to the horizontal plane and there is a weak radiation to the zenith. This results in some difficulties in realizing the AOA antenna to be used for flying car applications because flying cars have a high degree of freedom in varying their flight routes in both horizontal and vertical directions, allowing communication targets to spread over all solid angles in a three-dimensional manner. In this paper, the PRW method is applied to achieve the AOA antenna with upper and lower hemispheres illumination. The analytical results reveal that a precise angle estimation with a large radiation gain is achieved over the entire three-dimensional space.","PeriodicalId":162908,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Asia-Pacific Microwave Conference (APMC)","volume":"205 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122337240","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
