An implantable neural stimulator includes one or more electrodes a first antenna and one or more circuits. The one or more electrodes configured to apply one or more electrical pulses to neural tissue. The first antenna is a dipole antenna and is configured to receive an input signal containing electrical energy. The one or more circuits are configured to create one or more electrical pulses suitable using the electrical energy contained in the input signal supply the one or more electrical pulses to the one or more electrodes such that the one or more electrodes apply the one or more electrical pulses to neural tissue generate a stimulus feedback signal and send the stimulus feedback signal to the dipole antenna such that the dipole antenna transmits the stimulus feedback signal to the second antenna through electrical radiative coupling.
