Abstract

A system of wireless microtransponders, each including a RF resonator circuit for wireless power induction. An external power coil transmits RF energy at a matching or harmonic frequency to deliver power by near field induction to an intermediate, subcutaneous coil. Power is initially transmitted to a subdermal coil and relayed to the subcutaneous coil. The subcutaneous coil is used to transfer the RF signal and power the microtransponder using the resonator circuit. The external power coil RF frequency is tuned to match or be a harmonic of the micro-coil within the resonator.
