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