Will sspidr convert solar energy into RF energy?

SSPIDR deputy project manager, Melody Martinez, said that “converting solar energy into RF (radio frequency) energy at the component level is a pivotal step to realizing space-based solar power beaming on a larger scale.”

What is space solar power beaming (sspidr)?

SSPIDR is a series of integrated demonstrations and technology maturation efforts at the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Space Vehicles Directorate to develop space-based solar power collection and transmission capabilities. Space solar power beaming is not a new concept; yet until recently, the technology did not have a clear path forward.

What is a RF transmitter & receiver?

The datasheet reveals that it includes an RF transmitter and receiver, an antenna, and a charging board to harness the transmitted power. And certainly, another important area to explore is RFID. Remote frequency identification, or RFID, uses radio wave signals to identify a tagged object.

How do you harvest RF power?

The rest of it is out there, waiting to be harvested. RF power harvesting begins with an antenna. A given antenna can only efficiently harvest power radiated from a close bank of frequencies. A good place to start is with the example of UHF and VHF TV. Even at 500 mHz, a dipole would be 0.3 meters long.
