Analysis and Application of Analog Electronic Circuits to Biomedical Instrumentation

Focusing on the building blocks of biomedical systems, this text discusses the basic analog electronic circuits used for signal conditioning in biomedical instruments. It explains the electronic components and subsystems used in ECG, EEG, EMG, ERG, tomographic images, biochemical spectrograms, and other crucial medical applications. This second edition features a glossary, new end-of-chapter problems, and three chapters that address wireless patient monitoring using UHF telemetry; power amplifiers and their applications to biomedical instruments; and RFID, GPS, and ultrasonic tags used in ecological research. Ancillaries are available with qualifying course adoption.
