Abstract
Magnetic transcutaneous coupling is frequently used for power and data transfer to implanted electronic devices. The proposed development of MicroImplants, small enough to be injected through a hypodermic needle suggest the need for a high-efficiency magnetic transcutaneous link. This paper describes the use of a multifrequency transmitter coil driver based upon the Class E topology. The development of a "high-Q approximation" which simplifies the design procedure is presented. A closed-loop controller to compensate for transmitter and receiver variations, and a method of data modulation, using synchronous frequency shifting are described. The closed-loop Class E circuit shows great promise, especially for circuits with unusually low coefficients of coupling. Currents of several amperes, at radio frequencies, can easily and efficiently be obtained.
