Wireless power transfer system rigid to tissue characteristics using metamaterial inspired geometry for biomedical implant applications

Abstract Conventional resonant inductive coupling wireless power transfer (WPT) systems encounter performance degradation while energizing biomedical implants. This degradation results from the dielectric and conductive characteristics of the tissue, which cause increased radiation and conduction lo...
