  • Publication number: 20180131241
    Abstract: Energy transmission device for the wireless transmission of energy to an active implant, comprising: a transmitter coil adapted for electrical connection to an energy source, and an implantable receiver coil adapted for inductive coupling to the transmitter coil for wireless energy transmission, wherein an implantable primary coil is electrically connected to a modulator, the modulator modulating an AC voltage supplied to the implantable primary coil based on a data signal so that data transmission from the implantable primary coil to an extracorporeal secondary coil is performed, the frequency of the data transmission being different from the frequency at which the energy is transmitted from the transmitter coil to the receiver coil, and wherein information regarding the energy control of the energy to be transmitted from the transmitter coil is transmitted from the primary coil to the secondary coil by a pulse width modulated signal, other information not regarding the energy control is transmitted by means
