About

Berndie H. Strassner is a researcher specializing in microwave power transmission (MPT) and wireless power transfer technologies. His work focuses on the wireless transmission of large amounts of power at microwave frequencies — a field with significant implications for energy distribution, space-based solar power, and remote sensing applications. Strassner's most notable contribution is his research into the foundational principles and practical advancement of MPT systems, explored in his widely referenced 2005 paper on the subject, which has garnered a combined 16 citations across multiple venues. His scholarship bridges theoretical frameworks and applied engineering, helping to clarify and consolidate terminology in a field where "microwave power transmission" and "wireless power transmission" are often used interchangeably in the literature. By systematically examining the drivers behind MPT research, Strassner has contributed to shaping the academic conversation around energy beaming and long-range wireless power delivery. Though his citation footprint is modest, his work serves as a foundational reference point for students and engineers entering this niche but growing area of electrical engineering and applied electromagnetics.
