Abstract

A variant of solution to the multiparametric problem of power transmission through a microwave beam in the Fresnel zone is proposed. Methods for the power transmission with the use of beams with a Gaussian field distribution and beams having zero intensity along the axis are analyzed. For a specified geometry of the transmit-receive system, a relationship between the maximum power and the admissible field intensity in the rectenna plane is obtained.
