System and method for bidirectional communication with an implantable medical device using an implant component as an antenna |
摘要 |
A system and method enables data to be communicated from a position within a human body to an external data device. The system includes a wireless communication module that is electrically coupled to an implant component having a metal surface so that the implant component operates as an antenna in response to the application of a modulated carrier wave being applied to the implant component. The wireless communication module may be coupled to the implant component so that the implant component operates as a monopole or dipole antenna. When the monopole configuration is used, the system further includes a ground plane so that the electromagnetic field emitted by the implant component is reflected and the emitted and reflected fields resemble the emitted field of a dipole antenna for the carrier frequency. |
