Abstract
An implantable antenna assembly includes a multilayer flexible printed circuit board comprising a first flexible substrate, second flexible substrate, and third flexible substrate. An inductor coil is formed by electrically conductive traces disposed on the first flexible substrate. A shield is formed by electrically conductive traces disposed on the second flexible substrate and third flexible substrate, the shield surrounding the inductor coil. A method for forming an implantable antenna assembly is also provided.
