GROUND RECEIVING SITE CONCEPT The ground receiving site for each satellite would look like this illustration. The receiving antenna is a very large dipole array, with rectification to D.C. at each dipole. The arrays could be elevated above the ground to allow multiple use (e.g., frost-free farming) of the land. Beneath the antenna the RF field strength would be below the current U.S. public exposure standard of 10 milliwatts per square centimeter. Converters would change the D.C.antenna output to grid-compatible power and feed the power to a regular commercial grid. The ground-based control center for each satellite presumably would be based at the receiving site. Power receiver antennas of this type are not very directional, allowing a satellite to shift its beam to another antenna if desirable. Thus, seasonal load variations could be accommodated.
