Algorithms for the Design and Optimization of Coil Pairs in Inductive Power Systems for Implants

  • Published:
Biomedical Engineering Aims and scope

Algorithms for the formal design of coil pairs as parts of systems for inductive power supplies for implants are addressed. The general structure of such algorithms is identified and includes four main stages: 1) selection of limits and design constants for a coil pair; 2) selection of target functions and design variables; 3) determination of the procedure for calculating the design variables of a coil pair; 4) verification of the design of the coil pair. The main limits and design constants, design variables, target functions, and optimization procedures are considered.
