<p>A telemetry system for use with implantable medical devices includes a power source (20), an inductor (10) for generating information-containing magnetic field, a first capacitor (12) switchably connected in parallel with the inductor and power source, and a second capacitor (16) also switchably connected in parallel with the inductor and power source. Electronic switches (14, 18, 22, 24, 26, 28) perform the switching function in a way that utilizes both in-phase and quadrature data components, and frequency modulates both data components into a single transmitted sinusoidal signal, applied to the inductor, which varies in frequency between two selected frequencies. The transmitted signal is received magnetically by a second external inductor (60), and decoded, preferably by a coherent decoder (70), into in-phase and quadrature components, which are then integrated and sampled to produce the two transmitted in-phase and quadrature data components, which may then be recombined to produce the transmitted data. The system requires only low power, and is capable of operating at a relatively high data rate while retaining a high degree of accuracy due to the splitting of the signal into the in-phase and quadrature data components.</p> |
