Abstract

Recently, the inductive coupling link is the most robust method for powering implanted biomedical devices, such as micro-system stimulators, cochlear implants, and retinal implants. This research provides a novel theoretical and mathematical analysis to optimize the inductive coupling link efficiency driven by efficient proposed class-E power amplifiers using high and optimum input impedance. The design of the coupling link is based on two pairs of aligned, single-layer, planar spiral circular coils with a proposed geometric dimension, operating at a resonant frequency of 13.56 MHz. Both transmitter and receiver coils are small in size. Implanted device resistance varies from 200 Ω to 500 Ω with 50 Ω of stepes. When the conventional load resistance of power amplifiers is 50 Ω, the efficiency is 45%; when the optimum resonant load is 41.89 Ω with a coupling coefficient of 0.087, the efficiency increases to 49%. The efficiency optimization is reached by calculating the matching network for the external LC tank of the transmitter coil. The proposed design may be suitable for active implantable devices.
