Evaluation and optimization of near-field inductive coupled wireless power links in rat model

This paper presents an acute study of inductively coupled wireless power transmission link in rodents, which will eventually be used for peripheral nerve implants. Experimental results in rat for two different coil realizations - circular wire-wound coils and square planar printed coils are presented showcasing power delivery and effects of coil misalignment.
