INTRODUCTIONNear-field power transmission is a viable technique to wirelessly power up devices, such as sensors and actuators, with a wide range of power requirements or recharge their batteries from a short range without any direct electrical contact between the energy source and the device. Moreover, it is possible to use the same short-range wireless link to establish wide-band bidirectional data communication with those devices. Wireless IMDs are good examples of where near-field power and data transmission links can be used effectively. IMDs have been significantly improved by going through many generations since the invention of the first implantable pacemaker in 1958, and their importance in several state-of-the-art medical treatments is on the rise (Zhou and Greenbaum, 2009). They have made it possible to treat a wide range of ailments and disabilities from bradycardia (Allan, ), and loss of limbs (Kuiken et al., 2007). These devices need to transmit and receive information wirelessly across the skin barrier since breaching the skin with interconnect wires would be a source of morbidity for the patient and significantly increases the risk of infection. They also increase the risk of damage to the IMD.
