Transfer Based on Hybrid Approach for Biomedical Implantable Device

This work describes the creation of a new capacitive power transfer (CPT) design technique for biomedical implants that is based on a hybrid concept. This approach is capable of addressing a number of difficulties that have been identified in the widely used bipolar CPT method. Based on this capability, the CPT system simulation has been built to demonstrate the amount of power passed through a layer of tissue. The design was accomplished with square plates that had a layer of beef with a thickness of mm between two connecting plates to validate the suggested model for powering the implanted device. Class E zero voltage switching was used to generate the power signal. The Class E zero voltage switching has been designed to generate alternate current at a frequency of MHz, which is suitable for the hybrid CPT system requirements.
