TRANSCUTANOUS POWER LINK DESIGN FOR RETINAL PROSTHESIS

Design of the radio-frequency power links to be used
in prosthetic body implanted systems is important. A
novel design procedure for the coil design
considering
both the efficiency of the system and the radiated
magnetic field is presented in this book. Closed loop
class-E driver design for low-Q networks is also
presented along with the coil design. Main
specifications used in the design procedure are
dimensions of the coils, distance between them,
frequency of operation, load power, load voltage and
the maximum available input DC voltage. Experimental
results showed an overall power link efficiency of
65% delivering 250mW power to a 16V DC load from an
optimal distance of 7mm.
