Abstract
A wireless power transmission device includes a power transmitter to transmit a wireless power signal through a plurality of first antennas, a propagation path estimation unit to estimate first propagation path information characterizing a propagation path between the plurality of first antennas and a predetermined antenna, a propagation path extraction unit to extract second propagation path information characterizing a propagation path passing through a moving body, based on at least one of a difference on a time axis of a plurality of pieces of the first propagation path information each acquired at different times, and filtering on a frequency axis, a weight calculator to calculate a weight vector that determines a directivity of a combined power transmission beam formed by the plurality of first antennas, and a controller to control an amplitude and a phase of the wireless power signal inputted to each of the plurality of first antennas.
