A Technique of Antenna Integration with Energy Harvesting Windmill Generator for Autonomous Operation at Ocean Observation Platforms

The paper is focused on results of our research work aiming at development of cylindrical antennas that can be integrated with a windmill and associated electrical generator. Owing to the cylindrical antenna form, the windmill must have vertical revolving axis. The dual-linearly polarized antenna is for operation with at least two microwave bands. The antenna shall provide minimum four identical sectorial beams in the azimuth plane. The electrical power energy production is expected from 50 to 300 Watts.
