  • Patent number: 7129493
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for integrating photovoltaic cells into a ground plane of satellite and terrestrial antenna systems is disclosed. The system provides an increase in available surface area for power generation without increasing the overall size. In one embodiment, a substrate has both photovoltaic cells and a conductive spacer formed on one side, where the conductive spacer has a thickness substantially equal to the thickness of the photovoltaic cells. In another embodiment, an antennae element may be formed on the top side of the conductive spacer, where the photovoltaic cells form a ground plane for the antenna element.
