1. An implantable medical device comprising:

  • a charging coil configured to inductively couple to a first external coil to receive a charging signal to charge a charge storage element;

    a circuit coupled to the charging coil, the circuit including a circuit component that, in response to the charging signal, generates a backscatter signal; and

    a communication coil orthogonal to the charging coil and coupled to the circuit component, the communication coil configured to inductively couple to a second external coil to communicate the backscatter signal to the second external coil.
