1. A method comprising:

  • receiving a first far field radiative signal in a first frequency band and a second far field radiative signal in a second frequency band at an implantable medical device;

    rectifying the received first far field radiative signal and the received second far field radiative signal to provide a voltage;

    using the provided voltage to charge a charge storage element of the implantable medical device;

    detecting whether a charge stored at the charge storage element satisfies a threshold; and

    in response to detecting that the charge stored at the charge storage element satisfies the threshold, providing a therapy to a patient using a therapy delivery unit of the implantable medical device, wherein the therapy delivery unit receives power from the charge storage element.
