Power and Data Transmission for Wireless Electroceutical System
Abstract
TThis paper reviews the design concepts and constraints of current wireless power and data transmission technologies (e.g., inductive coupling, optical transmission, and ultrasonic-based techniques), and concentrates on the design and implementation of the proposed inductive coupling method for electroceutical applications. Especially considering miniaturisation and biocompatibility, our approach has the potential to become a competitive therapeutic alternative in many clinical settings in the future, since it guarantees more stable data communication and higher power transfer efficiency than current techniques. The chip is fabricated using the TSMC 180 nm CMOS process, and the size is 1 mm x 1 mm.
