In this paper, a 3-coil inductive WPT system having circular shaped external coil and miniaturized spherical shaped implantable coil is designed and optimized at 13.56 MHz to overcome reduced PTE under misalignment conditions. The external coil is placed at a distance of 10 mm from the implantable coil. The proposed design is referred to as C-S WPT system. To evaluate the performance of the C-S WPT system, a 3-coil inductive WPT system having circular shaped external coil and circular shaped implantable coil is designed and is referred to as C-C WPT system. The impacts of perfect alignment, lateral and/or angular misalignments on the overall PTE of the systems are analyzed and compared. At perfect alignment, the PTE of C-C and C-S WPT systems are 59.8% and 52.6%, respectively. Though the PTE of C-C WPT system is slightly higher than C-S WPT system, there is a sharp decrease in PTE of C-C system for angles greater than 40°. At 90° of angular misalignment, the PTE's of C-C and C-S WPT systems are 0.4% and 5.6% respectively. When the coils are laterally displaced by a distance of 10 mm, the C-C and C-S WPT systems produce PTE of 33.4% and 27.1% respectively. The C-C and C-S WPT systems attain PTE of 1.6% and 5.5% respectively at 10 mm displacement and 50° rotation. The simulated systems are fabricated to analyze the result in real-environment. The measurement results show that the C-S WPT system provides better PTE when compared to C-C WPT system under angular and a combination of angular and lateral misalignments.

This paper proposes a conformal high-efficiency ultra-thin flexible rectifying metasurface (RMS) with a simple structure applied for wireless power transferring (WPT), featuring polarization insensitivity and wide-angle incidence capabilities. The RMS unit adopts a rotationally symmetric structure consisting of double rings and cross-shaped elements, with two diodes placed in the gap of the cross-shaped to achieve polarization insensitivity. Simultaneously, by adjusting the dimensions of the "double ring and cross" structure, its output impedance is varied to achieve conjugate matching with the diode input impedance, thereby eliminating the impedance matching network.

Miniature bioelectronic implants promise revolutionary therapies for cardiovascular and neurological disorders. Wireless power transfer (WPT) is a significant method for miniaturization, eliminating the need for bulky batteries in today's devices. Despite successful demonstrations of millimetric battery-free implants in animal models, the robustness and efficiency of WPT are known to degrade significantly under misalignment incurred by body movements, respiration, heart beating, and limited control of implant orientation during surgery.
