Modeling and design of wireless data telemetry and power transfer for biomedical implants

This paper briefly discusses the modeling and design processes of various implantable miniaturized antennas and coils proposed by our research group for wireless data telemetry and power transfer for implants. Methods to overcome practical design issues in implants are proposed whilst adhering to the standard safety regulations.
