PG - 714-725 LID - 10.1109/TBCAS.2022.3199455 [doi] AB - Unstable wireless power transmission toward multiple living animals in an animal cage is one of the significant barriers to performing long-term and real-time neural monitoring in preclinical research. Here, seamless capacitive body channel (SCB) wireless power transmission (WPT) along with power management integrated circuit (PMIC) is designed using a standard 65 nm CMOS process. The SCB WPT enables stable wireless power transmission toward multiple 35 mmx20 mmx2 mm sized receivers (RXs) attached to freely moving animals in a 600 mmx600 mmx120 mm sized animal cage. By utilizing fringe-field capacitance and a body channel for wireless power link between the cage and RXs, the maximum difference in all measured power efficiencies in diverse scenarios is only 6.66 % with a 20 mW load. Even with a 90 ( degrees ) RX rotation against the cage, power efficiency marks 17.76 %. Furthermore, an in-vivo experiment conducted with three untethered rats demonstrates the capability of continuous long-term power delivery in practical situations.
