One of the big problems in the SPS system is reradiation of the harmonic waves generated by the rectifying diode. We have proposed the use of a circular microstrip antenna (CSMA), since the CMSA has no hgher resonance-harmonic of integer multiple of the dominant resonance frequency. However, characteristics of a large rectenna array of CMSA's have not been clarified. This paper is concerned with the absorption efficiency of the rectenna composed of the CMSA. The efficiency is estimated explicitly using an infinite array model. The results show that the absorption efficiency of the infinite rectenna array composed of the CMSA is 100 %. Also, this paper considers the effect of the losses of the CMSA.
