In the new era of smart and connected health, new technologies are needed for unobtrusive and seamless monitoring of physiological signals at real life settings. In this grand challenge, we are developing a novel technology called Wireless Resistive Analog Passive (WRAP) sensors. WRAP sensors utilizes printed spiral coil (PSC) inductive link whose sensitivity directly depends on the mutual inductance between primary and secondary coils and it changes due to the physical misalignment. We have previously reported COMSOL simulation results for distance and angular misalignments. In this paper we report experimental results of distance and angular misalignments and compare them to analytical and simulation results for distance. The experimental and analytical results are in good agreement while the simulation results are loosely correlated. For the angular misalignment, the experimental results follow similar trend as simulation results, however analytical results shows disagreement. This work is expected to aid in optimization of PSC for WRAP sensors.
