    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: An implantable medical device includes an acoustic transducer for intra-body communication with another medical device via an acoustic couple. The acoustic transducer includes one or more piezoelectric transducers. In one embodiment, an implantable medical device housing contains a cardiac rhythm management (CRM) device and an acoustic communication circuit. The acoustic transducer is electrically connected to the acoustic communication circuit to function as an acoustic coupler and physically fastened to a wall of the implantable housing, directly or via a supporting structure.
