Intelligent cage for remotely powered freely moving animal telemetry systems

An intelligent power feedback design for remotely powered freely moving animal telemetry systems is described. The system uses an optimized wireless power transmission that utilizes multiple transceiver coils. An intelligent mouse cage with controller unit of the feedback system are proposed. System description, experimental setup and measurements of the remotely powered implantable monitoring system are presented.
