Abstract
An implantable medical device ('IMD') configured in accordance with an example embodiment of the invention generally includes a housing, a connector header block coupled to the housing, and a telemetry antenna located within the header block. The header block is formed from a dielectric material, which encapsulates the antenna. The antenna is configured to support far field telemetry with an external device such as a programmer. In one example embodiment, the antenna is formed from a thin round wire, has a feed point on the top perimeter sidewall of the housing, and has a floating endpoint in the header block. The antenna is contoured to form a simple curve in a plane that is approximately parallel with the major sides of the housing.
