摘要:
A diversity antenna system including a plurality of antennas can include an antenna interface circuit configured to connect an antenna of the plurality of antennas to a transceiver using an antenna selection signal. The antenna control circuit can be configured to produce the antenna selection signal using at least one of a random sequence generator configured to generate a random antenna selection signal or a predetermined sequence generator configured to generate a predetermined antenna selection signal according to a predetermined sequence.
摘要:
A far-field radio frequency telemetry (RF) system for communicating with an implantable medical device includes a diversity antenna system. An antenna control circuit selects one or more antennas of the diversity antenna system for reducing potential data transmission errors associated with nulls encountered by the telemetry system due to environmental reflections of RF electromagnetic waves. In one embodiment, a different active antenna is selected when a transmission failure deemed to be associated with a null is detected. In another embodiment, a new antenna is selected on a regular basis to reduce the probability of encountering a null. In another embodiment, the telemetry system includes multiple processing paths each associated with one antenna of the diversity antenna system, and a different processing path is selected when the transmission failure deemed to be associated with a null is detected.

摘要:
A far-field radio frequency (RF) telemetry system for communicating with an implantable medical device includes a diversity antenna system. Multi-frame messages each including multiple outgoing data frames are transmitted to the implantable medical device. In response, the implantable medical device transmits response data frames each following one or more of the outgoing data frames, according to a predetermined communication protocol. An antenna control circuit selects an antenna of the diversity antenna system for transmitting the outgoing data frames and/or receiving the response data frames based the quality of signal reception associated with the response data frames.
