Abstract

On the base of a green-eco technology, S-bandhigh power GaN amplifiers have been developed with a microwave power transmission function in the space electronics equipment. High DC-to-RF conversion efficiency of 63 % was achieved in the 20W GaN amplifier operating at 2.25 GHz and its design technique was extended to realize 1 kW SSPA for the space communication. Furthermore, wireless sensor operation and battery charging was also demonstrated by means of microwave power transmission.
