1. A leadless cardiac pacemaker device configured to provide conduction system pacing or HIS bundle pacing, the leadless cardiac pacemaker device comprising:
a housing having a tip and a far end opposite said tip;
a first electrode disposed on said housing in an area of said tip, said first electrode configured to engage with intra-cardiac tissue;
a second electrode disposed on said housing at a distance from said tip of said housing;
a third electrode disposed on said housing in an area in the vicinity of said far end; and
a processor enclosed in said housing and operatively connected to said first electrode and to said second electrode, wherein said processor is configured to process a reception signal received by at least one of said first electrode and said second electrode and to generate a pacing signal to be emitted using at least one of said first electrode and said second electrode;
wherein said processor is configured to process, as the reception signal, at least one of a second signal vector sensed between said first electrode and said third electrode and a third signal vector sensed between said second electrode and said third electrode; and
wherein said processor is configured to alternate between processing at least one of the second signal vector sensed between said first electrode and said third electrode and the third signal vector sensed between said second electrode and said third electrode and generating the pacing signal to be emitted using at least one of said first electrode and said second electrode.
