    Abstract:
    All implantable devices, such as an artificial heart, an artificial lung, a pacemaker, a defibrillator, need electric power. So the electric power supply through the skin is requested. Then, it is transcutaneous energy transmission system (TETS) that has been studied and used a lot. TETS is the system which performs an electric power supply by non-contact transcutaneously using the electromagnetic induction phenomenon of an external primary side coil and a secondary side coil in human body. In this research, we are developing the core type TETS which applied for the implantable devices. In this paper, corresponding to various conditions, such as a difference in required electric power and transmission distance change, the core type transformer which can hold high transmission efficiency is designed.
