Abstract :
A Retrodirective array (RDA) is an array of
antennas designed to receive signals from a specific
direction and retransmit another signal back in the
opposite direction. This property is useful in backhaul
networks, where communication links need to be
established between base stations. Microwave Power
Transmission (MPT) involves the transmission of power
wirelessly using microwaves with applications, such as
powering remote equipment or sensors. In this work we
have redesigned an RDA antenna using CST Studio suite
software, allowing for the creation of a system with novel
functionalities such as improved antenna performance
and signal steering. This antenna design is capable of
transmitting power efficiently using the phased array
method. This system can be deployed in powering
terrestrial backhaul links in cellular networks located in
rural areas.
