Abstract: An antenna for electrical coupling to a wireless communication circuit includes a first conductive strip segment having a first length, a second conductive strip segment having a second length different from the first length and coupled to the first conductive strip segment at a feed point to be electrically coupled to the drive node, and a third conductive strip segment having a third length less than both the first length and the second length. A first end of the third conductive strip is coupled to the feed point and a second end is coupled to circuit ground. The first conductive strip segment provides a first specified operating frequency range at a fundamental resonance mode corresponding to the first length plus the third length, and the second conductive strip segment provides a second specified operating frequency range at a fundamental resonance mode corresponding to the second length plus the third length.

Abstract: A system including an external medical data telemetry device to communicate with an implantable medical device (IMD). The external medical data telemetry device includes a processor, a reconfigurable radio-frequency (RF) transceiver circuit, at least one far-field antenna, and a user interface. The reconfigurable RF transceiver circuit modulates an outgoing IMD data signal and demodulates an incoming IMD data signal using a modulation type that is selectable from a plurality of modulation types by the processor. The processor selects the modulation type using information entered by a user through the user interface.
