A new method of radio frequency links by coplanar coils for implantable medical devices.
A new method based on coplanar coils for the design of radio frequency links has been developed, to realize the communication between the programming wand and the implantable medical devices with shielding container simply and reliably. With the analysis of electronic and magnetic field theory, the communication model has been established and simulated, and the circuit has been designed and tested. The experimental results are consistent with the simulation fairly well. The voltage transfer ratio of the typical circuit with present parameters can reach as high as 0.02, which can fulfill the requirements of communication.
