Abstract :
The AIPAA with high power amplifier and the heat pipe was demonstrated. The AIPAA consists of the circular patch, the high power FET, the 4-bit digital phase shifter, the DC regulator and the heat pipe cooling system. For the functions of WIPT, the power transmission with 800mW output from each array element in the 4×4 AIPAA was achieved and the BER of 10-6 was kept with MSK with 9 Mbps. The beam steering was also carried out within +/- 23 degrees. WIPT to the rover in the moon are expected to be one of the promising space applications.
