This paper lightens up their role and identifies a procedure enabling the system design. The latter enables the problem to be decoupled into four principal steps: the frequency choice, the magnetic link optimization, the secondary circuit and then finally the primary circuit designs. The methodology has been tested for the powering system of a device requirering a power of 300mW and implanted at a distance of 15 to 30mm from the outside power source. It allowed the identification of the most critical parameters. A satisfying efficiency of 34% was reached at 21mm and tend to validate the proposed design procedure.}, number={2}, journal={European Journal of Translational Myology}, author={Godfraind, Carmen and Debelle, Adrien and Lonys, Laurent and Acuña, Vicente and Doguet, Pascal and Nonclercq, Antoine}, year={2016}, month={Jun.} }
