Abstract:
An electromagnetic (EM) sensor includes a front-end module, a memory, and a microcontroller unit. The front-end module generates an electromagnetic signal using externally introduced electromagnetic waves. The memory stores a first reference signal and a second reference signal generated from multiple probability models required to recognize the electromagnetic signal. The microcontroller unit compares the electromagnetic signal with the first reference signal and the second reference signal, to determine whether the electromagnetic signal is a valid signal.
Abstract:
An electrocardiogram (ECG) sensor includes an analog front end device configured to remove a DC offset in a first ECG signal received from a measuring electrode, and adjust a gain amplification value based on the first ECG signal. The analog front end device is configured to output an adjusted first ECG signal, the adjusted first ECG signal being based on the adjusted gain amplification value and the removed DC offset in the first ECG signal. The ECG sensor includes a digital signal processor configured to analyze and process the adjusted first ECG signal based on an algorithm and to output information. The analog front end device is configured to remove the DC offset in the first ECG signal during a first period, and remove a DC offset in a second ECG signal and simultaneously adjust a gain amplification value for the second ECG signal during a second period.

Abstract:
An electrocardiogram (ECG) sensor includes a motion artifact detector configured to detect a motion artifact component from a first channel signal of a first channel and a second channel signal of a second channel using a channel offset coefficient. The channel offset coefficient indicates a difference between the first channel signal and the second channel signal. The ECG sensor includes an ECG filter configured to generate an ECG signal by performing a least mean square (LMS) filtering operation on the first channel signal to remove the motion artifact component.
