Abstract

High efficiency is vital for wireless powering link in biomedical implant application. This paper presents the analysis of the overall efficiency from the viewpoint of whole link and two important factors are elaborated. First, the choice of the optimal power carrier frequency should be tradeoff through the whole link, especially with consideration of power transfer, tissue-induced loss, and human safety, which is seldom highlighted before. Second, resonant coupling as a promising energy transfer method for implantable devices is analyzed and compared with conventional inductive coupling. Some initial results are given and further ongoing research is also included.
