Characterization of a planar microcoil for implantable microsystems
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper discusses the modelling, design and characterization of planar microcoils to be used in telemetry systems that supply energy to miniaturized implants. Parasitic electrical effects that may become important at a.c. frequencies of several megahertz are evaluated. The fabrication process and electrical characterization of planar receiver microcoils will be described, and it will be shown that a power of a few milliwatts is feasible. © 1997 Elsevier Science S.A.

Designing and Fabrication of a New Radiofrequency Planar microcoil for mini-Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
Introduction Radiofrequency planar microcoils are used to increase the resolution of magnetic resonance images of small samples. In this study, we aimed to design and fabricate a spiral planar microcoil constructed on a double-sided printed circuit board (PCB). It has four rings with an internal diameter of 241 microns tuned and matched at 63.8 MHz. Materials and Methods To achieve the maximum ...
متن کاملFluid Dynamic Load of Polymers Used as Encapsulation Material for Implantable Microsystems.
Biocompatible polymers utilized for flexible encapsulations of implantable microsystems provide many advantages compared to widely used rigid titanium or ceramic packages. However, polymers alter their properties due to interactions with their environment, but especially for longterm implants, a reliable protective function of these materials is required. To investigate the protective function ...
متن کاملCopper Planar Microcoils Applied to Magnetic Actuation
Recent advances in microtechnology allow realization of planar microcoils. These components are integrated in MEMS as magnetic sensor or actuator. In the latter case, it is necessary to maximize the effective magnetic field which is proportional to the current passing through the copper track and depends on the distance to the generation microcoil. The aim of this work was to determine the opti...
متن کاملCharacterization of Flexible RF Microcoil Dedicated to Surface Mri
In Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), to achieve sufficient Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR), the electrical performance of the RF coil is critical. We developed a device (microcoil) based on the original concept of monolithic resonator. This paper presents the used fabrication process based on micromoulding. The dielectric substrates are flexible thin films of polymer, which allow the microcoil to b...
