Microwave transmission refers to the technology of transmitting information by the use of radio waves whose wavelengths are conveniently measured in small numbers of centimeters; these are called microwaves.

Radio spectrum ranges across frequencies of roughly 1.0 gigahertz(GHz) to 30GHz.

Corresponds to wavelength from 30 centimeters down to 1.0cm.

Microwave Transmission


13

Transfers high power from one place to another. Two places being in line of sight usually

Steps: ~Electrical energy to microwave energy ~Capturing microwaves using rectenna ~Microwave energy to electrical energy

Microwave Power Transfer


14

AC can not be directly converted to microwave energy

AC is converted to DC first

DC is converted to microwaves using magnetron

Transmitted waves are received at rectenna which rectifies, gives DC as the output

DC is converted back to AC
