Patent ID: 7567824

Claim:
A method of energizing a power storage device, comprising: providing a base station and a remote station having said power storage device, transmitting from said base station in space to said remote station energy employing ultra-wide band frequency, employing on said remote station at least one antenna for receiving said ultra-wide band frequency transmitted energy to energize power storage devices on said remote station, wherein said at least one antenna has an effective antenna area greater than its physical area, employing an LC tank circuit in said at least one antenna to establish said effective area of said at least one antenna greater than said physical area, said LC tank circuit being formed by providing said at least one antenna with specific electrode and interlectode dimensions and depositing said at least one antenna on a substrate having a specific capacitance, converting said ultra-wide band frequency transmitted energy on said remote station into DC power, and delivering said DC power to said power storage device.
