Abstract

In this paper, a model has been presented which transfers electric power without wires by using microwaves. A breadboard model of receiving antenna called rectenna is developed for preliminary experiments including wireless power transmission. The paper presents one to one MPT system in which electric power is transferred at radio frequencies ranging GHz so that the losses can be reduced which generally occurs during transmission and distribution of electrical power.
