The Harvey Mudd College Artemis clinic team will design, build, and test a mobile prototype of a microwave transmitter and receiver system for wireless solar-generated power transmission operating at 2.45 GHz. The clinic team will construct a prototype capable of transmitting 100 watts of power at a distance of 100 meters. The prototype will be modular in design and possess beam directional control capability.
