INTR ODUCTION W ireless Po wer T ransfer (WPT) i s frequently studied and applied for v arious fields, for e xample in- dustry , manuf acture, mathematics, medical science, and information. Th e basic principle of tr ansfer has been found in 19th century , although practical applied or productization is later . In 2007, a WPT system with mag- netic resonance circuit whose transmitting and recei ving circuits ha v e same resonant frequenc y w as proposed by [1]. This study accomplished highly ef ficient ener gy transfer on the situation that a po wer supply and load are put a fe w meters apart. These days, man y papers and articles ha v e reported v arious WPT studies and practical products. WPT for electric v ehicles is cogitated from v arious vie wpoints, for e xample a design of coils [2], and incorporating solar cells [3]. Furthermore a method to dri v e machines is e xamined by actuating the rotor with piezoelectric ener gy via a magnetic relucta n c e coupling [4]. The necessity of IoT is mentioned in these days, and hence WPT adopting radio frequenc y is in v estig ated to a v oid replacing or rechar ging the batteries of wireless de vices in IoT [5]. Moreo v er , WPT for an artificial satellite in space is tried to e xchange ener gy wirelessly without going to space [6], and then micro w a v e is used to send ener gy in greatly long distance such as this situation. F or realization to mak e these systems, man y approaches are in v estig ated in terms of an electric ci r - cuit, and mathematics. The resonant frequencies of all parts which compose WPT circuit are inte grated, and impedance of load is matched with input impedance to maximize po wer of load [7]. The coils are used to trans- mit ener gy via electromagnetic field, and therefore the proper materials which are used to mak e high quality coils must be chosen [8]. T o maximize total po wer of load, a mathematical model is structured based on an algorithmic study [9]. This paper focus es on the applications for medical science, especially the transmission of ener gy to a micro implant de vice from outside. The ef fect to human body must be considered because ener gy is transmitted to human body via electromagnetic field [10]. When an e xperiment with respect to the transmission of ener gy to body is conducted, an e xperimental animal is used, not a human body [11].
