This presentation describes an ultrasound system for wireless energy transfer dedicated to implanted medical devices. It discusses the motivations, specifications, and system architecture of an ultrasound link for remotely powering implanted devices. Key aspects covered include frequency selection, transducer design, modeling of pressure fields, selection of rechargeable batteries, design of class-E power amplifiers, integrated rectifier topologies, and measurements of system efficiency both in simulation and in vitro experiments comparing discrete and integrated approaches. The overall aim is to develop an ultrasound-based system for long-term powering of implanted medical devices as an alternative to inductive coupling.
