Research abstract
Notch is proposing a long-range, transmitting antenna for microwave radiant energy transfer that is low SWaP-C and has capabilities similar to phased arrays. Notch is proposing an electronically controlled metasurface antenna that acts has all the benefits of a phased array and parabolic dish combined with none of the disadvantages. It will be designed to have a high gain to deliver kilowatts of power for ranges greater than 100m, can beam steer to multiple wireless receivers, and is entirely software controlled. Notch believes that this metasurface antenna solution can safely and robustly provide power to rapidly moving and dispersed warfighter equipment, from UAVs, combat vehicles, and soldier-borne IoT devices.
