We research electromagnetic sensing, RF energy harvesting, and wireless power transfer — including systems small and safe enough to sense and power devices inside the human body.
From antenna and sensor design through to power delivery, our RF and electromagnetics work closes the loop between sensing and powering a system remotely.
Antenna-based and resonant electromagnetic sensors for measuring displacement, material properties, moisture, and proximity using RF and microwave signals.
Passive and active RF sensor front-ends engineered for sensitivity, selectivity, and low power draw across licensed and ISM frequency bands.
Rectenna and resonant coupling structures that capture ambient or intentionally-radiated electromagnetic energy and convert it into usable DC power.
Near-field and far-field wireless power delivery systems, including coil and antenna design, efficiency optimization, and safe power delivery across a gap.
Miniaturized, biocompatible RF and electromagnetic sensors for implantable devices, designed to operate reliably within the tissue environment.
Transcutaneous wireless power transfer for implants — coupling coil and link design that balances delivered power, thermal safety, and implant size.
Medical implants place unusual constraints on RF and electromagnetic design: millimeter-scale form factors, strict thermal and SAR limits, and a coupling medium — tissue — that behaves nothing like free space. We design the sensing and power link together, so the implant can be read and powered reliably through the body without exceeding safety limits.
Including implantable and other highly constrained form factors.
