Abstract
This article used image recognition and beam forming technology to build a phased array with target tracking and transmitting the microwaves with a focused beam. The coordinate position of the target is obtained from the image recognition module and converted into phase information for the phased array. This system was constructed by a $1\times4\,\,5.764$ -GHz phased array with four 4-bit phase shifters. The phase shifters created a focused beam, which requires not only the target’s direction angle but also the transmission distance. The target position as well as direction and distance information were gathered using image recognition. The tracking beam method was evaluated by simulation and actual measurement. The results showed that the focused beam can always be formed in real time to track the target. The transfer efficiency of the focused beam was improved higher than that of uniform phase beam within a distance of 50 cm. The automatic tracking power transmission system has a response time of about 100 ms.
