So could any other type of antenna, basically. It doesn't have to be a dipole, though.

Based on the images, that's not what happens here

That is absolute horseshit. Large dipole arrays will suffer from high mutual coupling which could drastically reduce performance (depending on design choices). Different antenna types might be more suitable for different scenarios, but that's why I would like EmRod to explain their choices.
Furthermore, a rectenna gives you DC power out, but why would EmRod want this?
