Basic Requirements for Amplifiers
Type of amplification: Voltage Amplification Current Amplification
High input impedance ( 10 MW) why? Isolation and protection circuits why? Low output impedance why?
High common mode rejection ration why? The appropriate frequency spectrum, SNR, gain, Calibration input to calibrate the amplifier

Blood Cycle of the Heart
Objectives of the cycle: Provide Oxygenated blood to all body cells Remove Carbon-Dioxide accumulating in cells
Two Blood Cycles simultaneously Pulmonary cycle add oxygen and remove Co 2 Blood Cycle carry oxygen to body cells

The Heart Beat (Cardiac cycle)
Two Phases1. Two atriums contract and two ventricles relax2. Two ventricles contract and two atriums relax
3. Four chambers relax Terminology:
Systolic phase contraction
Diastolic phase relaxation Control is done via an independent nervous
system in the heart though electrical signals

Sequence of Control Signals
SA node (heart pace maker) initiate signal toatriums causing it to contract blood flowsthrough valves to ventricles
Impulse flows till it reaches AV node AV node fires a signal along the bundle of his
and ventricles contract in top to bottom fashion
to push the blood out of the heart http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:ECG_principle_slow.gif#file

Components of ECG
The ECG is drawn against time. It contains elements indicating
the temporal relationshipbetween different actions takingplace during a cardiac cycle.
The respective amplitudes of these elements and their
respective positions are studied

ECG Amplifiers
The electrical activity of theheart can be modeled as anElectric dipole in the thorax
This dipole is representedwith a vector that varies inamplitude and direction(cardiac vector)
Defined lead vectors: unitvectors with fixed orientation
Vector can be observed fromdifferent directions andangles

The electrocardiogram is measured by puttingelectrodes on specific locations on the body. The electrodes used, their respective wires and
resistors for measuring the ECG from aparticular direction is called the lead
Measurement in Frontal Plane Bipolar limb leads, I, II, III Unipolar limb leads, aV R, aV L, aV F
Precordial (chest) leads for transverse plane(V1-V6)

Homework 1Bio-Potential Amplifiers and ECG leads
1. Explain why Bio-Potential Amplifiers need to have the followingrequirements:
High Input Impedance Low output impedance Frequency response appropriate to the signal Isolation Circuit
2. Show that the voltage at wilson central point (figure 6.4) is the averageof the voltages at each node
3. Show that voltage at the augmented lead shown in figure 6.5 increasesthe output voltage and calculate this increase

Frequencydistortion
The high f components of the signal are attenuatedyielding a rounding of sharp edges and droppingin the R-wave magnitude.This is a distortion in thesignal due to high f limitation.
A distortion due to low f limitation. The signal lookslike a differentiated one andthe stable baseline neededfor the clinical ECG is lost
