Abstract
A method for wirelessly powering a device includes: acoustically coupling an acoustic transmitter to an external surface of a mammal at an approximate location of an implantable device disposed in the mammal; producing, with the acoustic source, acoustic energy having a frequency in a frequency range of about 0.5 MHz to about 3 MHz; receiving the acoustic energy with one or more transducers in the implantable device, the one or more transducers electrically connected to an electric circuit, the one or more transducers having a length in a length range of about 1 wavelength to about 10 wavelengths of the acoustic energy; converting, with the one or more transducers, the acoustic energy to electric energy; and providing the electric energy to a device electrically connected to the electric circuit.
