Abstract
A variety of coupling structures - folded dipole, planar spiral inductor and solenoid - are evaluated for intrabody applications at frequencies from 1 GHz to 10 GHz at varying separations, and under a maximum volume constraint of 100um × 100um × 100um. A solenoid approach is shown to provide the lowest path loss over the entire frequency range.
