A Biosafety Comparison Between Capacitive and Inductive Coupling in Biomedical Implants
Abstract
This letter investigates the link efficiencies and ensuing biohazards when capacitive versus inductive coupling is used to power biomedical implants electromagnetically. Electromagnetic simulations illustrate that the power link efficiency of capacitive coupling decays slower as a function of the distance between plates compared to inductive coupling. Specifically, the case designs show that, using a transmitted power of 1 W at 5 MHz, capacitive coupling produces a 10-g averaged SAR value of 1.63 W/kg compared to 2.39 W/kg for an inductive coupling of the same dimension.

In the citing paper
“Specifically, at a transmitted power of 1 W and a frequency of 5 MHz, capacitive coupling resulted in a 10-g averaged SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) value of 1.63 W/kg, lower than the 2.39 W/kg seen in inductive coupling of similar dimensions (Al-Kalbani et al., 2014).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
