Huge Array Antenna to Transmit a Microwave Power for the Space Solar Power System(SSPS)
Details
The SSPS Committee started in FY 1998 and is held in every year. The SSPS is a huge solar power satellite which generates a several million kW by solar cells. The electric power is transmitted via microwave form the SSPS to the ground. A diameter of a transmitting antenna is 2.6 km and the antenna is active-phased array. The antenna is the largest in the human history for space and in the ground. We describe the recent state of the transmitting antenna and a future work.
