Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2006093964A1] A far-field radio frequency (RF) telemetry system for communicating with an implantable medical device includes a diversity antenna system. In one embodiment, an antenna control circuit selects an antenna of the diversity antenna system for transmitting the outgoing data frames and/or receiving the response data frames based the quality of signal reception associated with response data frames sent by the implantable medical device. In another embodiment, 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.
