This paper presents a wireless power transfer (WPT) system for powering implantable biomedical devices; the system is configured to achieve high efficiency even with CMOS switches and printed-circuit-board pattern coils and to maintain constant output voltage against coupling and loading variations without any additional blocks. It is shown that the parallel-resonant transmitter (TX) and receiver (RX) topology is advantageous for high efficiency even with lossy but compact components. In addition, the output voltage of the topology is insensitive to coupling and/or loading variations if the operating frequency is automatically adjusted according to coupling variations. A parallel-resonant class-D oscillator TX is developed to track the optimum operating frequency for the constant output voltage. The operating distance for the constant output voltage is also extended using a novel resonator structure, which contains two resonating coils. These proposed schemes allow a compact, efficient, and robust wireless power system. Maximum power of 174 mW can be transmitted with 63% overall efficiency.
