1. A wireless implantable receiver for use with an implantable medical device, the wireless implantable receiver comprising:
a dipole antenna configured to:
receive, via electrical radiative coupling and without inductive coupling, electromagnetic radiation radiated from outside a subject in which the wireless implantable receiver is implanted, and
convert the electromagnetic radiation to electrical energy,
wherein the antenna has a length ranging from 100 microns to 10 centimeters;
circuitry coupled to the antenna and configured to condition the electrical energy;
a housing configured to house the antenna and the circuitry, the housing sized and shaped for passing through an inner lumen of a needle no larger than 13 gauge; and
at least one wire coupled to the circuitry and extending from the housing, the at least one wire configured to be coupled to the implantable medical device and to provide the conditioned electrical energy to the implantable medical device thereby providing electrical power to the implantable medical device that is used to power the implantable medical device,
wherein the wireless implantable receiver operates independently from the implantable medical device and is separable from the implantable medical device.
