For the drone to fly with microwave energy, the rectenna must be attached to the bottom of the aircraft, which causes interference to mission equipment such as cameras. The conical beam with a null in the center avoids this problem. In the case of microwave power transmission, the receiving antenna is in the Fresnel region, so the beam must not only be nulled in the center but also focused toward the receiving antenna. Therefore, in this study, we designed the size of the antenna and its amplitude distribution using the electromagnetic field of the LG-mode. Simulation results with a planar array antenna show that the transmitting antenna of 2.1 m radius can transmit the 24 GHz beam with the air-core ratio of 14% to the receiving antenna of 0.5 m radius located at 40 m above the ground.","PeriodicalId":219307,"journal":{"name":"2022 Asia-Pacific Microwave Conference (APMC)","volume":"272 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133887884","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}

As a promising solution to overcome this difficulty, an OAM multiplexing transmission method is proposed for use in a satellite formation relay scheme in this paper. Specifically, the channel model of the OAM wave from the base station to the relay satellites and then forwarded by relays to the central receiver is established and analyzed. In order to explore the feasibility of the scheme and its influencing factors, we analyze the influence of orbit distribution and random jitter on channel capacity based on the orbit parameters of actual satellite formations. The simulation results show that the uniform and evenly spaced satellite formation has the highest multiplexed channel capacity and anti-interference performance.","PeriodicalId":219307,"journal":{"name":"2022 Asia-Pacific Microwave Conference (APMC)","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122572836","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}

At the input, an active balun converts the single-ended input signal to a differential signal and drives the frequency tripler into the non-linear region. To improve the conversion gain (CG), the proposed frequency tripler is followed by a buffer stage and a totem pole (TP) output stage.
