RELAY MODULE FOR IMPLANT
An implementation provides a system that includes: a control module including a first antenna, the control module configured to generate a first radio frequency (RF) signal and transmit the first RF signal using the first antenna; an implantable lead module including a second antenna and at least one electrode configured to stimulate excitable tissue of a subject; and a relay module configured to receive the first RF signal; generate a second RF signal based on the first RF signal, the second RF signal encoding a stimulus waveform to be applied by the at least one electrodes of the implantable lead module to stimulate the excitable tissue of the subject; and transmit the second RF signal to the implantable lead module.
1 . A system, comprising:
a control module comprising a first antenna, the control module being configured to generate a first radio frequency (RF) signal and transmit the first RF signal using the first antenna;
an implantable lead module comprising a second antenna and at least one electrode, the at least one electrode being configured to stimulate an excitable tissue of a subject; and
a relay module configured to:
receive the first RF signal;
generate a second RF signal based on the first RF signal, the second RF signal encoding a stimulus waveform to be applied by the at least one electrodes of the implantable lead module to stimulate the excitable tissue of the subject; and
transmit the second RF signal,
wherein the implantable lead module is configured to receive the second RF signal using the second antenna, generate the stimulus waveform from the received second RF signal, and apply the stimulus waveform to the excitable tissue of the subject.
