More Information
Summary:A biostimulator, such as a leadless cardiac pacemaker, having a header assembly that includes an antenna, is described. The antenna can be integrated into an insulator that separates an electrode of the header assembly from a flange of the header assembly. The antenna includes an antenna loop embedded in a ceramic material of the insulator. The antenna loop is located distal to the flange to reduce the likelihood of signal interference and increase communication range of the antenna. The header assembly is mounted on a housing have an electronics compartment, and an antenna lead extends from the antenna loop to electronic circuitry contained within the electronics compartment. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.
