Potentiality of the inductive powering for measurement in the enclosed systems

Paper presents wireless powering and signal transfer solution using the inductive coupling. It can be suitable for enclosed systems that are isolated from the surroundings and where the batteries cannot be used. It can be used for biomedical probes, probes bricked in to the wall for long-term monitoring, extreme temperature environment measurement etc. The powering is provided by the near magnetic field. The serial and parallel resonances are considered in the design in order to increase the voltage transfer. Voltage levels, power transfer efficiency and signal modulation effects are studied up to distance of 30 cm. Presented principle of powering and communication is similar to the RFID systems (Radio Frequency Identification). The main contribution of this paper is powering potentialities and distance limits prediction of this powering strategy. The simple coils are considered. Special converter is presented for this purpose.
