ECG Signal Make-up
2
Biopotential Requirements High Input Impedance
– Minimum loading of the signal being measured– Minimum 10M
Input circuit must have isolation and protection circuits to protect the patient
Output Impedance must be low compared to the load impedance
Proper bandwidth range. Not too narrow and not too wide
Gain at least 1000 times For bipolar electrodes, use differential amplifier
