    摘要: A physical parameter measuring system is provided which measures a physical parameter such as a blood pressure of a person using oscillation transmission. The system includes a phase detector, an A/D converter, an arc center determining circuit, and a phase angle determining circuit. The phase detector detects a phase of a sensor signal produced, in sequence, by monitoring oscillations which are applied by an exciter and transmitted through a living body to map the signal on a two-dimensional plane as a sample point. The A/D converter converts the sample point signal into a digital sample point signal in sequence. The arc center determining circuit determines a center of an arc defined by a distribution of the sample points mapped for a given period of time. The arc determining circuit selects the sample points which are located at an interval greater than a given reference sample-to-sample distance to form a sample group consisting of at least three of the selected sample points and determines a center of a circle passing through the sample group as the center of the arc. The phase angle determining circuit determines a phase angle of the sample point as viewed from the arc center determined by the arc center determining circuit and provides it as a parameter used to determine a physical parameter of the subject.

    摘要: A blood pressure determining apparatus is provided which applies oscillations to the blood vessel of a subject through an exciter to determine the blood pressure based on the frequency of the oscillations propagated through the blood vessel measured by an oscillation sensor. The apparatus monitors an output of the oscillation sensor when the exciter applies no oscillation to the subject to determine the power spectrum of noise signals contained in the output and sets the frequency of oscillations to be applied to the blood vessel to any value within a band of the power spectrum in which the power of noise is small. This enables the blood pressure to be determined without influence of any electric disturbances from peripheral devices.
