To achieve 1GW-class SSPS, a power transmitting subsystem on a square kilometer scale is required for microwave power transmission (MPT). Consequently, it is crucial to construct a number of transmitting modules in the power transmitting subsystem, and transmit microwave beams pointing accurately to the power receiving subsystem. To achieve MPT technology, JAXA and the Institute for Unmanned Space Experiment Free Flyer are planning to conduct a MPT ground experiment in fiscal year 2014. In this joint effort, we are in charge of a beam steering control (BSC) subsystem, which is important among MPT technologies. We have defined the functions and specifications of the BSC Breadboard Models (BBMs). This paper describes the functions and specification of the BSC BBMs, and the results of system tests.","PeriodicalId":6308,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Workshop Series on Innovative Wireless Power Transmission: Technologies, Systems, and Applications","volume":"52 1","pages":"111-114"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73571879","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}

The proposed loops and the external circuit configurations are in the form of equivalent circuit for WPT systems with self-resonant antennas, and the explicit design formulae for the external capacitors and inductors are given in terms of the magnetic coupling coefficient k between two coils, working frequency f0 and the port impedances R0. Aggressive targets are set, such as smaller loops, longer spacing between loops, lighter systems weight, and so on. k and the Q's of the coils and the external circuit are the key parameters determining the obtainable power transfer efficiency. Higher magnetic coupling coefficient is possible by employing thicker conducting pipes for making coils. A design example for a system in 150kHz band with rectangular loops with side-length less than 40cm, loops separation 19cm, transmitor or receiver weight less than 5 kg including ground plates, is tested by simulation and experiment. The usefulness of the design theory has been verified, and the directions towards the future efforts are described.","PeriodicalId":6308,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Workshop Series on Innovative Wireless Power Transmission: Technologies, Systems, and Applications","volume":"6 1","pages":"101-104"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90931892","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}

It has dual communication function that can be connected with both the terrestrial system and the satellite system is composed by using the common terminal with a handheld shape. This communication system will be especially useful for the emergency disaster. For small scale model of STICS satellite beam former and digital bent pipe system, NICT developed 16-element feeding antenna with Digital Beam Former and Channelizer for flexible usage of frequency.

In Japan, a panel structure SPS was proposed. The panel structure SPS is difficult to maintain flatness of transmission antenna surface. Thus we study on a microwave power beam correction method. In this paper, we describe a PAC (Position and Angle Correction) method. The PAC method is one of the beam correction methods for SPS. However, in order to use the PAC method, the gradients of the panel modules have to be very low. Hence we propose an improved PAC method through the use of the deployment system for the panel structure SPS. Even if the gradients of panel modules are large, we can correct the microwave power beam by using the proposed PAC method.","PeriodicalId":6308,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Workshop Series on Innovative Wireless Power Transmission: Technologies, Systems, and Applications","volume":"80 1","pages":"25-28"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83841732","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}
