Abstract :
Due to the progressive development, there is a significant demand of passively powered implants in biomedical research. Small dimensions make it possible to place the devices into inaccessible or critical positions. As consequence, the coupling factor between reader and implant antenna is slight. This work therefore provides a novel analysis of inductive coupled systems based on numerical methods for determining a proper coil configuration.
