Abstract

This paper discusses the modelling, design and characterization of planar microcoils to be used in telemetry systems that supply energy to miniaturized implants. Parasitic electrical effects that may become important at a.c. frequencies of several megahertz are evaluated. The fabrication process and electrical characterization of planar receiver microcoils will be described, and it will be shown that a power of a few milliwatts is feasible.
