1. A medical transceiver device for radio-based communication with an implantable medical device comprising;

  • circuitry for transmitting radio frequency signals to, and/or receiving radio frequency signals from, said implantable medical device;

    first and second electrically conductive structures;

    an antenna feed network operatively interconnected between said circuitry and said first and second electrically conductive structures;

    each of said first and second electrically conductive structures being operable with said circuitry as a transmitting and/or receiving antenna for said radio frequency signals;

    said first and second electrically conductive structures being operable with said circuitry to emit and/or receive radio waves of different polarizations and thereby exhibiting polarization diversity; and

    said first and second electrically conductive structures being adjacent to each other at a fixed distance from each other, giving said electrically conductive structures spatial diversity that is independent of said polarization diversity.
