Feasibility study of 35 GHz microwave power transmission in spaceThis paper is a study of the feasibility of a 35-GHz microwave power transmission system in space. It was found that a dc to dc transmission efficiency better than 50 percent can be achieved over a distance of 50 km by using a transmitting antenna of 20 m in diameter and a receiving antenna of 40 m in diameter. Technology requirements at 35 GHz have been assessed and several stages of development have been proposed.
