1. An implantable apparatus, comprising:
a first electrode;
a second electrode;
an electrode signal transceiver connected to the first electrode and the second electrode;
an antenna, the antenna comprising a flat conductive wire provided on a printed circuit board (PCB);
a wireless power receiver connected to the antenna; and
a conductor case comprising major surfaces having a largest surface area among plural surface areas of the conductor case, the major surfaces including a top surface and a bottom surface, the bottom surface being provided below the top surface respective to an orientation of the conductor case and the antenna, the conductor case being configured to protect the electrode signal transceiver and the wireless power receiver,
wherein the flat conductive wire is configured to enclose an outer perimeter of the top surface of the conductor case, the flat conductive wire traversing in a first direction and a second direction longitudinally along each respective lateral side surface of the top surface of the conductor case, and
wherein the flat conductive wire forms an antenna plane being at same height or a greater height above the top surface, respective to the bottom surface, as a top plane defined by the top surface of the conductor case.
