Biomedical implants are essential for restoring or enhancing impaired bodily functions, significantly improving patients' health and quality of life. Examples include neuromodulators for treating neurological disorders or active stents for blood vessel monitoring.
Powering biomedical implants through skin requires wireless power and data transmission, as can be done e.g. with inductive links (similar to wireless phone charging) or capacitive links.
Those links operate with AC voltage while the implant requires constant DC voltage supply, therefore requiring a rectifier whith a large buffering capacitor.
The goal of this thesis is to analyze and verify the benefits and costs of a new approach to minimize the required buffering capacitor. Therefore a PCB needs to be designed and measured with your previously determined components.
Depending on whether the thesis is a master's or bachelor's thesis, different links and networks have to be compared, analyzed, and verified with measurements.
What we expect:
- Basic knowledge of MATLAB
- Basic knowledge about analog networks
- Organized and well documented research and dedication to successful work.
