A conformal dielectric rod antenna array with operating frequency of 11.2 GHz is investigated, designed, and measured. This antenna array is combined with a single pole double throw radio frequency microelectromechanical systems (RF‐MEMS) switch to realize switched‐beam performance. Moreover, this antenna array exhibits uniform radiation performance for different scan angles with no grating lobes. The characterization and measurement of the antenna system have been performed. The measured radiation pattern of the antenna in the anechoic chamber is in good agreement with the simulated antenna pattern. The measured antenna with the RF‐MEMS switch has 13.5 dBi realized gain, −15 dB sidelobe level, 22° half‐power beamwidth, and 7.3% (fractional) bandwidth (or 800 MHz) at 11.2 GHz.

“…However, the overall size and weight must be considered that loads the drone. Millimeter band version of the proposed FS-LWA + spatial multiplexers can be directly designed in high frequencies of the microwave band and in the millimeter band as demonstrated in [6] with W band prototypes. The WPT prototype here studied is in Ku band, with main electrical parameters summarized in Table I A frequency agile coaxial magnetron from TMD technologies [7] is used as Ku-band power source (see Fig.3a).…”

A wireless power transfer system is conceived to empower light drones and unmanned aerial vehicles. To satisfy the power budget of the wireless link and provide enough power to the drone, new circuits based on directive frequency-scanned leaky-wave antennas and circuits are proposed. It is shown how the proposed leaky-wave devices introduce enough gain in the receiver system, while assuring reception in a 120° field-of-view scanning range. At the same time, the suggested receiver system has low weight and cost since it is fully designed in PCBcompatible substrate integrated microwave technology. Preliminary results on this interesting system for wireless power transfer are presented in this paper.
