Research paper thumbnail of A compact dual-polarized 8.51GHz rectenna for high-voltage (50 V) actuator applications

IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques, 2000

This study demonstrates a circuit topology that allows the output of multiple rectenna elements to be combined in order to step up the output voltage. In this paper, an independent rectifying circuit is used for each of two orthogonal polarizations. By proper combination, the output voltage is doubled over that of the single polarization case. Such panels are being explored for use on the next-generation space telescope to eliminate wiring between actuators and provide for true mechanical isolation.

A comparison is made with previous methods of correlation. In addition, the relationship between the various drag coefficients for particles in concentrated suspensions is clarified. The importance of the particle-to-vessel diameter ratio in determining the value of the drag coefficient is established.
