Wireless power transfer in human tissue via Conformal Strongly Coupled Magnetic Resonance

Abstract

Conformal Strongly Coupled Magnetic Resonance (CSCMR) for wireless power transfer (WPT) in human tissue is studied in this paper. Specifically, the performance CSCMR systems from a TX in air to an RX that is either on the surface of human tissue or that is embedded in several types of human tissues with various thickness is analyzed. The design procedure of CSCMR systems for air-to-tissue transmission is presented. Finally, two optimal conformal SCMR WPT designs are provided: one on the surface of human chest and one implanted in human heart or muscle.
