  • Abstract
    This paper presents a wireless energy link for rechargeable implantable pulse generators for deep brain stimulation. The proposed link exploits a magnetic coupling between two compact planar resonators. From experimental results referring to a prototype working in the MedRadio band a transfer efficiency of about 10.62% is demonstrated.
