System, Device, and Method for Generating Stimulation Waveform Having A Paresthesia-Inducing Low-Frequency Component and A Spread-Spectrum High-Frequency Component

A method, comprising:

• receiving, via communication circuitry on a pulse generator, programming instructions from a programming device that is external to the pulse generator;
• and
• generating, based on the received programming instructions, electrical pulses via stimulation circuitry on the pulse generator, wherein:
• the electrical pulses have a fixed-frequency component and a spread-spectrum component;
• the fixed-frequency component and the spread-spectrum component are simultaneously viewable in a frequency domain;
• and
• the spread-spectrum component spans a substantially wider frequency range than the fixed-frequency component in the frequency domain.

A medical system, comprising:

• an electronic programming device configured to generate programming instructions in response to user input;
• and
• a pulse generator configured to generate electrical pulses based on the programming instructions;
• wherein:
• in a frequency spectrum, the electrical pulses simultaneously demonstrate at least a first component and a second component different from the first component;
• and
• the second component occupies a frequency range that is at least an order of magnitude wider than the first component in the frequency spectrum.
