Abstract
We report the design, fabrication and characterization of a microfabricated electrodynamic wireless power transmission (EWPT) receiver that uses a bulk-micromachined silicon serpentine torsional suspension, NdFeB magnets, and precision-manufactured micro-coils. The 0.31 cm3 device generates 2.46 mW average power (7.9 mW/cm3) at a distance of 4 cm from a transmitter coil operating at 821 Hz and safely within allowable human exposure limits. Compared to a previously reported prototype, this micro-receiver is ∼40% smaller, offers ∼16x better magnetic field sensitivity and 1.7x higher power density for improved applicability for wirelessly charging wearable and bio-implantable devices.
