    摘要: An implantable medical device (“IMD”) configured in accordance with an example embodiment of the invention generally includes a housing, a connector header block coupled to the housing, a dielectric sheath located around at least a portion of the housing and/or around at least a portion of the header block, and a telemetry antenna located within the dielectric sheath. The antenna is configured to support far field telemetry with an external device such as a programmer. In one example embodiment, the antenna is configured as a balanced antenna having two separate antenna elements driven 180 degrees out of phase. Each of the antenna elements has a feed point on a perimeter edge of the IMD housing and a floating endpoint. A number of alternate embodiments are also provided.

    摘要: Unscheduled wireless communication with a medical device is achieved by operating a receiver of the medical device in a series of modes. Each mode provides an increasingly selective evaluation of received RF energy. The receiver, when operating in a first mode, is capable of detecting the presence of RF energy transmitted from a communicating device. The receiver, when operating in a second mode, consumes more energy than the first mode and analyzes the RF energy to determine whether it contains the appropriate type of modulation. When operating in a third mode, the receiver consumes more energy than the second mode, and operates the full receiver to begin communication with the communicating device. The receiver opens a communication session after the RF energy has passed the evaluation by the series of modes to receive an unscheduled communication.

    摘要: An adjustable electronic filter apparatus is disclosed comprising a dielectric block having one or more through-holes and having a conformal conductive coating substantially over all outside surfaces as well as each through-hole therein. Each through-hole so plated forms a resonator from a transmission line which includes an open portion, for providing capacitive reactance at a first end, and a short-circuited end as a base, for providing an associated distributed inductance at a second end thereof. A unique method of tuning the adjustable electronic filter, whether a single resonator, a plurality of resonators, or a plurality of intercoupled multi-resonator filters, is disclosed that permits bi-directional tuning for at least one resonator in each of the above exemplary embodiments. By selectively adjusting an inductive portion of the plating at the base of each resonator so tuned, a resonator is quickly and accurately adjusted to a desired frequency. The selective adjusting may be accomplished by subtractive processes, such as abrasion or laser trimming, or by an additive process, such as by adding conductive paint for partially filling in a removed or absent portion of the plating at the base of a resonator.
