Popis: A novel passive frequency beam-steering linear antenna array is proposed in this paper to be utilized at the transmit side of a long-range wireless power transfer (WPT) system. To assure high power handling for a long-range transfer, the proposed antenna is designed based on stripline technology. Moreover, unlike other reported designs, the antenna array in this paper uses parallel feed while frequency beam-steering. This permits to apply a special synthesis at the radiating elements to minimize the energy wasted at the side lobes. The antenna array uses common-fed dipoles as radiating elements to eliminate the surface current at the ground planes that is considered a critical issue in high power applications. The antenna covers the frequency band from 1.1 to 1.5 GHz with a reflection coefficient better than −10 dB (VSWR
