Description:
The results of a theoretical study of microwave beam absorption by a rectenna is given. Total absorption of power beam is shown to be theoretically possible. Several improvements in the rectenna design are indicated as a result of analytic modeling. The nature of rectenna scattering and atmospheric effects is discussed.
