Some peculiarities of the wave beams in wireless power transmission

Some wave beam peculiarities which usually are wasted are useful in wireless power transmission systems. These peculiarities-the focusing of the beam, the taper distribution of the radiating field, and the discontinuous antenna-are discussed     

Matrix method synthesis of transmitting antenna for wireless power transmission

The synthesis of the radiating structure of wireless power transmission (WPT) systems has some unique aspects. An important attribute is the efficiency of coupling the radiated energy into the receiving aperture. There are possibilities of improving the WPT by variations of the wave field distribution on the aperture and its configuration too. The matrix method of synthesis of the aforesaid structure is examined.     

Supertyphoon Hagibis action in the ionosphere on 6–13 October 2019: Results from multi-frequency multiple path sounding at oblique incidence

The purpose of the present paper is to describe the observations of the variations in the parameters of HF radio waves propagating through the ionosphere when the action of the super typhoon Hagibis on 6–13 October 2019 occurred. The observations have been made with the Harbin Engineering University (the People's Republic of China) multi-frequency multiple path radio system involving the software-defined technology. The action of the super typhoon has been shown to be accompanied by enhanced atmospheric wave activity acting to generate wave processes with periods of 10 to 120 min. Coupling in the atmosphere–upper-atmosphere–ionosphere system has been confirmed to be carried out with atmospheric gravity waves. The ionosphere underwent the greatest impact on those days when the supertyphoon had maximum energy, on 8, 10, and especially 9 October 2019, and when it was found to be in an ～2,500–3,000-km distance range from the propagation path midpoints. Under the action of wave processes, the height of the reflection region was observed to oscillate within the ±(30–90 km) limits. The amplitude of the quasi-periodic variations in the ionospheric F-region electron density was estimated to be 10–12% for periods of ～20 min, and 30–60% for periods of ～60–120 min. The joint action of the dusk terminator and the supertyphoon has been confirmed to enhance wave activity in the ionosphere. Similar effects for the dawn terminator have not been detected.
