Wireless Power Transfer to a Microaerial Vehicle with a Microwave Active Phased Array

A wireless power transfer system using a microwave active phased array was developed. In the system, power is transferred to a circling microaerial vehicle (MAV) by a microwave beam of 5.8 GHz, which is formed and directed to the MAV using an active phased array antenna. The MAV is expected to suppo...
