Abstract :
A conventional microwave oven magnetron may be converted into a high gain amplifier with independent frequency, phase and amplitude control. From this building block, a phased array for wireless power transmission may be constructed. Using the design approach detailed herein, a steerable beam was demonstrated at UAF in June 1998.
