Abstract
This paper discusses the modelling, design and characterization of pla nar microcoils to be used in telemetry systems that supply energy to m iniaturized implants. Parasitic electrical effects that may become imp ortant at a.c. frequencies of several megahertz are evaluated. The fab rication process and electrical characterization of planar receiver mi crocoils will be described, and it will be shown that a power of a few milliwatts is feasible.
