Status of studies by ITU on Wireless Power Transmission and their future perspective

Abstract

  One of the important subjects to realize Space Solar Power Systems (SSPS) is determination of frequencies for the systems. Agreement at the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is inevitable for the determination of the frequencies. This paper explains status of studies on Wireless Power Transmission (WPT) conducted by ITU and their future perspectives. In addition, it also introduces relevant experiences in Japan which lead the ITU studies on WPT these years. They are provided for information to help determination of the frequencies for SSPS.
