    摘要: A method is presented for enabling radio-frequency (RF) communications between an implantable medical device and an external device in a manner which reduces the power requirements of the implantable device by duty cycling its RF circuitry. A wakeup scheme for the implantable device is provided in which the external device transmits a data segment containing a repeating sequence of special wakeup characters and a device ID in order to establish a communications session with the implantable device. The wakeup scheme may be designed to operate using multiple communications channels.

    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 telemetry system for data transmission between an implantable medical device and an external system includes a plurality of channels each representing a frequency band within a predetermined frequency range. The data transmission is performed using at least one active channel at any instant. Channel hopping is performed upon detecting an interruption of communication, such that a scan is performed through an array of channels selected from the plurality of channels. If a data frame is not successfully transmitted, it is repeatedly re-transmitted using the current and/or the next active channels until its transmission becomes successful.
