This letter presents the design of a flexible highly efficient antenna for Wireless Energy Transfer (WET) at 13.56 MHz. The proposed antenna uses very thin kapton, with a thickness of 25 μm as a substrate, and an 18 μm layer of copper as the conductive material. The 40 mm x 40 mm 6 loop antenna prod...
