AI Thread Summary
A discussion on a two-electrode low supply voltage ECG signal amplifier highlights a student's struggle to understand the topic for a university assignment. The student seeks help and feedback on the subject, sharing a link to a schematic. Forum members suggest moving the discussion to a homework forum and express concerns about the file-sharing site used. They recommend using a PDF writer for easier access and emphasize the importance of precision high-impedance differential amplifiers for effective ECG signal amplification. The conversation underscores the need for good common-mode rejection in ECG amplifiers.

hello, i have this issue from our professor at uni ,and its title is:
Two-electrode low supply voltage electrocardiogram signal amplifier

so our professot asked us to do understand it in general and in details, but I nearly understand nothing (unfortunately :frown: ) even though I've tried so much...
anyway , i want you to have a look because i really need your comments and thoughts about that subject and any suggestion or help will be very appreciated!

i've uploaded it with rapidshare website.

thanks in advance!

Hi EE. Since this is a homework assignment, could you maybe have it moved to the HW forum? Also, I don't like the website where you posted the schematic -- it looks too much like I need to sign up or something to download the file. Can you please just post a PDF here in the PF instead? Remember, you can download a free PDF writer from PrimoPDF.com.

BTW, what is it you don't understand about the amplifier? Have you looked up precision high-impedance differential amplifiers anywhere? The diff amp (or instrumentation amp) configuration is what is usually used for ECG amps, because you need good common-mode rejection.

Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'

Hi Guys We are a bunch a mechanical engineers trying to build a simple electromagnet. Our design is based on a very similar magnet. However, our version is about 10 times less magnetic and we are wondering why. Our coil has exactly same length, same number of layers and turns. What is possibly wrong? PIN and bracket are made of iron and are in electrical contact, exactly like the reference design. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. edit: even same wire diameter and coil was wounded by a...

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'

Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
