Weak point of ubiquitous network
society is a power source.
We propose a wireless power source with
microwave power transmission (MPT). In
most advanced system, we bring only a
receiving system, rectenna instead of heavy
battery. At first step, we try to charge a
battery via microwave power.

ITU ActivitiesITU : International Telecommunication Union (Founded in 1865)
which cites the following purposes for the union: to maintain and extend international cooperation between all members of
the union for the improvement and rational use of telecommunications of all
kinds;
to promote and to offer technical assistance to developing countries in the
field of telecommunications;
to promote the development of technical facilities and their efficient
operation;
to promote the extension of the benefits of the new telecommunication
technologies to all the world's inhabitants;
to harmonize the actions of members in the attainment of these ends;
to promote, at the international level, the adoption of a broader approach to
telecommunications issues, an approach that includes other world and
regional organizations and nongovernmental organizations concerned with
telecommunications.

Question ITU-R 210-3/1
Wireless power transmission (June, 2015)decides that the following information be gathered
1 What applications have been developed for use of WPT
technologies?
2 What are the technical characteristics of the emission employed in or
incidental to applications using WPT technologies?
3 What is the WPT’s standardization situation in the world?
decides that the following Questions should be studied
1 Under what category of spectrum use should administrations
consider WPT: ISM, or other?
2 What radio frequency bands are most suitable for WPT?
3 What steps are required to ensure that radiocommunication
services, including the radio astronomy service, are protected from
WPT operations?
