摘要:
Described herein is a multi-channel biopotential signal acquisition system (900) in which a plurality of biopotential channels is corrected for common-mode interference. Each biopotential channel comprises an electrode (910, 920, 930, 940) for providing a biopotential input signal and an associated amplifier (950, 960, 970, 980) for amplifying the biopotential input signal and for providing a biopotential output signal (955, 965, 975, 985) that is processed in a processor (250, 260, 270, 990). Each biopotential output signal (955, 965, 975, 985) is passed to a common-mode feedback system (810) that determines an average common-mode signal and feeds that signal back to each of the amplifiers (950, 960, 970, 980) in each of the biopotential channels to enhance common-mode rejection ratio of the system (900).
摘要:
The invention provides a biopotential signal acquisition system, comprising at least two active electrodes (10,16) each for receiving a signal from an input, for example in the form of a respective patient contact. A unity gain buffer (32) is used to feed forward a signal from an associated input and provide the buffered output to the amplifiers of the active electrodes as a reference signal. The buffered signal is approximately equal to the input common mode signal so that the effective common mode input voltage appearing at the inputs of each amplifier is significantly reduced. This reduces the common mode gain of the active electrodes and thus improves their common mode rejection ratio while also avoiding saturation of the active electrodes.

摘要:
Described herein is an analogue signal processor (ASP) application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) (400) that can be used for remotely monitoring ECG signals of a subject that has reduced power consumption. The ASP ASIC (400) performs the functions of: ECG signal extraction with high resolution using ECG readout channel (410), feature extraction using a band-power extraction channel (420), adaptive sampling the ECG signals using an adaptive sampling analogue-to-digital converter (440), and impedance monitoring for signal integrity using an impedance monitoring channel (430). These functions enable the development of wireless ECG monitoring systems that have significantly lower power consumption but are more efficient that predecessor systems. The ASP ASIC (400) consumes 30µW from a 2V supply with compression provided by adaptive sampling providing large reductions in power consumption of a wireless ECG monitoring system of whtih the ASP ASIC (400) forms a part.
