The following papers are the result of the; latest literature search current through summer, 1985. Title: Technology for satellite power conversion. Source: Interim Techni c a 1 Report. Authors: CAMPBELL, D. P. ; BOOKER, M. A. s SUMMERS, C.; GALLAGHER, J. J. Georgia Inst, of Tech., Atlanta. Oct. 1984. SOP. Report. No.: NASA—CR.174335; NAS 1.26:174335 Contract N o.: NAG3-282 Absract: Techniques for sate11ite electromagnetic energy transfer and power conversion at mi11imeter and infrared wavelengths are discussed. The design requirements for rectenna receiving elements are reviewed for both coherent radiation sources and Earth thermal infrared emission. Potential power transmitters inc1uding qyrotrons, free electron 1asers , and C02 lasers are assessed along with the rectification properties of meta1-oxide metal diode powsr converters. (M. G.)
