Abstract :
A Space Solar Power Satellite/Station (SPS) requires high efficiency and low cost phased array for a microwave power transmission from the SPS to ground. For the phased array of the SPS, we have developed new phased array research facility, new rectenna (rectifying antenna) array research facility, and a special anechoic chamber for the SPS experiment in Kyoto University in FY2010. In this paper, I show the characteristics of the new phased array and rectenna array. I also introduce the new anechoic chamber for the SPS in Kyoto University.
