Abstract:
Wireless power transmission has proven to be
extremely helpful in the field of medical implants given its
potential to power an implant embedded in the body
wirelessly. Current studies in wireless power transmission on
medical devices for implantable applications usually suggest
power transfer solutions. The novelty of the proposed solution
is the ability to communicate between the receiver and
transmitter which enables device monitoring capability.
Downlink communication to the transmitter at 2kbps is
performed on the same frequency as wireless power
transmission by load modulation. The design is based on
considerations to the power requirements and compact size
required for implantable devices. The efficiency and the
operation of the designed device were tested and verified for
several human tissue mimicking materials.
