    Abstract: An implantable medical device comprises a communication module that comprises at least one of a receiver module and a transmitter module. The receiver module is configured to both receive from an antenna and demodulate an RF telemetry signal, and receive from a plurality of electrodes and demodulate a tissue conduction communication (TCC) signal. The transmitter module is configured to modulate and transmit both an RF telemetry signal via the antenna and a TCC signal via the plurality of electrodes. The RF telemetry signal and the TCC signal are both within a predetermined band for RF telemetry communication. In some examples, the IMD comprises a switching module configured to selectively couple one of the plurality of electrodes and the antenna to the receiver module or transmitter module.

    Abstract: A rechargeable cell of an implantable medical device is recharged by an external charging unit that includes a transmitting coil configured to emit an electromagnetic field and a near-field focusing plate having a subwavelength structure pattern that focuses the emitted electromagnetic field to a focal pattern. The implantable medical device includes a housing having a window of an electromagnetically transparent material and a receiving coil enclosed by the housing. The receiving coil extends adjacent to and is aligned with the window. The rechargeable cell is enclosed by the housing and is configured to be charged by current induced in the receiving coil when the receiving coil is exposed to the focal pattern. In some examples, the near-field focusing plate is configured to produce the focal pattern to have a size that is less than an outer dimension of the window and a focal length from the near-field focusing plate that at least reaches the window.
