Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
A hybrid array resonator structure for Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) is presented. The proposed structure exploits an array of four identical coils surrounded by a larger coil to generate uniform magnetic field. As a result, a nearly constant and high efficiency is achieved over a large misalignment region. The quasi-uniform magnetic field distribution of the proposed structure is analytically derived. For demonstration, one prototype operating at 40 MHz is designed for implantable medical devices (IMDs). According to experimental results, the developed WPT system exhibits an efficiency of 53% when the receiver and the transmitter are aligned, while the efficiency is 44% when they operate with a lateral misalignment of 10 mm. As per a conventional WPT system using a single spiral resonator as transmitter and receiver, the efficiency is 47.2% in aligned condition, while, it is 30.5% for a 10 mm lateral misalignment. The reported results demonstrate that the proposed design approach provides a high misalignment tolerance. This represents an attractive future for applications, such as the recharge of embedded devices, where the alignment between the transmitter and the receiver is difficult to guarantee.
