Abstract
Efficient wireless power transfer (WPT) can reduce the charging time
of implantable devices and potentially minimize heating effects that can severely
damage the patient’s tissue. This thesis presents two methods to increase WPT
efficiency: one using three orthogonal receiving coils and the other using metamaterial
lenses. The simulation results show that the first method improve the power transfer
efficiency by up to 15% under the effects of receiver rotation within the human body.
For the second method, the simulation results show that incorporating a metamaterial
lens to the three implantable orthogonal coils can increase the total power transmission
efficiency under rotation by 2 dB. The effects of other parameters such as the number of
turns in the coils on the received power are also studied.
