Significant progress has been recently achieved in the field of development of numerous autonomous mobile ground, water, air and space device-robots, micro robots, unmanned aerial and floating vehicles, pico- and nanosatellites, which perform diverse tasks without human presence and are remote controlled by people. The power loading of such mobile autonomous devices determining the duration of functioning of the service and functional onboard informational and control systems remains one of the intractable problems. The work analyzes the structure scheme of the onboard equipment for reception and conversion of the microwave energy of the mobile autonomous devices. It demonstrates that the elements, which as metamaterials can be used in the onboard equipment, are emitters of rectenna and high harmonic filters. The use of the microelectronic and micromachinery technologies, metamaterials as a part of rectenna and filters based on the substrate waveguides integrated, allows us to halve the amount of the energy transfer canals and dramatically decrease the mass characteristic of the reception equipment and conversion of the microwave energy mobile autonomous devices in comparison with the analogues.

Keywords: metamaterial, rectenna, substrate integrated waveguide (SIW), portable independent devices, micro robot, un­manned aerial vehicle, nano- and picosatellite
