Abstract :
This paper presents a wireless energy link for wearable applications. The proposed link exploits a magnetic coupling between two resonators fabricated by using a conductive non-woven fabric for the conductive parts and leather as substrate, thus resulting in a prototype that can be easily embedded in wearable accessories such as fashion bags. Experimental data referring to a prototype working in the ISM band (433.05 - 434.79 MHz) demonstrate a power transfer efficiency of about 69 %.
