摘要： An implantable medical device (“IMD”) is provided having an antenna and an RF telemetry module for far field telemetry communications arranged on an exterior of the IMD housing, such that telemetry signal processing may be performed on the exterior of the housing. One or more feedthrough conductive paths extend through the housing to communicatively couple the RF module to circuitry within the housing. In this manner RF module is arranged entirely external to the housing, such that only power and/or low frequency data bit signals are required to be passed through the feedthrough conductive path. This allows the feedthrough conductive path to be filtered to prevent undesired interference signals (e.g., electromagnetic interference (EMI) signals) from entering the housing through the feedthrough conductive path coupled to the RF module. In some embodiments, the antenna and RF module are formed in an integrated assembly attachable to an exterior portion of the housing.

摘要： An electrical feedthrough assembly according to the invention can be used as a component of an implantable medical device (IMD) and/or or electrochemical cell. An IMD includes implantable pulse generators, cardioverter-defibrillators, physiologic sensors, drug-delivery systems, etc. Such assemblies require biocompatibility and resistance to degradation under applied bias current or voltage. In some forms of the invention, such assemblies are fabricated by using electrically common, multiply-interconnected electrical pathways including metallized vias and interlayer structures of conductive metallic material within bores and between ceramic layers. The layers are stacked together and sintered to form a substantially monolithic dielectric structure with at least one electrically common embedded metallization pathway extending through the structure. The metallization pathway reliably conducts electrical signals even when exposed to body fluids and tissue and providing electrical communication between internal IMD circuitry and active electrical components and/or circuitry coupled to the exterior of an IMD.

摘要： Hermetically sealed assemblies, for example, that include IC chips, are configured for incorporation within a connector terminal of an implantable medical electrical lead, preferably within a contact member of the terminal. An assembly may include two feedthrough subassemblies, welded to either end of the contact member, to form an hermetic capsule, in which an IC chip is enclosed, and a tubular member, which allows a lumen to extend therethrough, along a length of the terminal. A multi-electrode lead may include multiplexer circuitry, preferably a switch matrix element and a communications, control and power supply element that are electrically coupled to the contact member and to another contact member of the terminal. Each pair of switch matrix switches allows for any two of the electrodes to be selected, in order to deliver a stimulation vector, via stimulation pulses from a device/pulse generator, to which the connector terminal is connected.

摘要： An antenna structure for an implantable medical device (IMD) is provided that includes an antenna embedded within a structure derived from a plurality of discrete dielectric layers. An array of electrodes are connected to the antenna structure and arranged for applying a bias across selected segments of the dielectric layers for altering the performance characteristics of the antenna. The bias applied by the array of electrodes can be selected to provide desired impedance matching between the antenna and the surrounding environment of the implant location to mitigate energy reflection effects at the transition from the antenna structure to the surrounding environment, to provide beam steering functionality for the antenna, or to alter the gain of the signals received by the antenna. IMD is configured to monitor received signal characteristics (e.g., RSSI, EVM or bit error rate) and alter material properties of the dielectric material through biasing to control antenna performance.

摘要： An antenna structure for an implantable medical device (IMD) is provided including a lower dielectric biocompatible antenna portion positioned on a body side of the structure and a high dielectric portion including at least one dielectric substrate having a high dielectric constant positioned on a device side of the structure. The biocompatible antenna portion is derived from an antenna layer, a biocompatible surface layer, and at least one layer of biocompatible dielectric material (e.g., high temperature cofire ceramic (HTCC) material) that provides a matching gradient between the antenna and the surrounding environment. The high dielectric portion may include at least one layer of low temperature cofire ceramic (LTCC) material. The high dielectric portion may be bonded to the biocompatible antenna portion or cofired with the biocompatible antenna portion to form a single bilayer monolithic antenna structure having a lower dielectric HTCC biocompatible antenna portion and a high dielectric LTCC portion.
