ABSTRACT:
Implantable medical devices (IMDs) having RF telemetry capabilities for uplink transmitting patient data and downlink recieving programming commands to and from an external programmer having an improved RF module configured to occupy small spaces within the IMD housing to further effect the miniaturization thereof. An RF module formed of an RF module substrate and at least one IC chip and discrete components has a volume and dimensions that are optimally minimized to reduce its volumetric form factor.
