Abstract
A physical arrangement can be provided between at least a portion of a first segment of an implantable antenna with respect to a return conductor, and an input impedance of the implantable antenna can be controlled using the physical arrangement to provide a substantially conjugate match to an output impedance of an implantable telemetry circuit coupled to the implantable antenna.
