Popis: This work concerns the possibility of powering implanted medical devices and medical patches wirelessly. This harvesting can be achieved by inductive wireless power transfer (WPT). In this paper, we present a flexible medical patch, using near-field communication (NFC) technology (13.56 MHz), which is then powered by magnetic coupling. The inductive coupling is achieved between the patch coil and a NFC reader coil. The constraints considered for the patch coil design and realization are discussed, such as the electromagnetic shielding and the need of flexibility. Then the effects of the patch curvature and of the equivalent load resistance on the energy harvesting ability are investigated. The patch coil is simulated and realized and the measurements results are shown and analyzed.
