Analysis and Application of Analog Electronic Circuits to Biomedical Instrumentation

 

Analysis and Application of Analog Electronic Circuits to Biomedical Instrumentation

 

 ISBN-13: 978-0849321436 
 ISBN-10: 0849321433 
 Edition: 1ère

Description:
This book introduces the basic mathematical tools used to describe noise and its propagation through linear systems and provides a basic description of the improvement of signal-to-noise ratio by signal averaging and linear filtering. The text also demonstrates how op amps are the keystone of modern analog signal conditioning systems design, and illustrates their use in isolation and instrumentation amplifiers, active filters, and numerous biomedical instrumentation systems and subsystems. It examines the properties of the ideal op amp and applies this model to the analysis of various circuits. It explores models and architectures of the ...building blocks... of the signal conditioning systems used to monitor and measure medical data.

Advanced Probability Theory for Biomedical Engineers

Download Advanced Probability Theory for Biomedical Engineers

Description:

This is the third in a series of short books on probability theory and random processes for biomedical engineers. This book focuses on standard probability distributions commonly encountered in biomedical engineering. The exponential, Poisson and Gaussian distributions are introduced, as well as important approximations to the Bernoulli PMF and Gaussian CDF. Many important properties of jointly Gaussian random variables are presented. The primary subjects of the final chapter are methods for determining the probability distribution of a function of a random variable. We first evaluate the probability distribution of a function of one random variable using the CDF and then the PDF.

Next, the probability distribution for a single random variable is determined from a function of two random variables using the CDF. Then, the joint probability distribution is found from a function of two random variables using the joint PDF and the CDF. The aim of all three books is as an introduction to probability theory. The audience includes students, engineers and researchers presenting applications of this theory to a wide variety of problems—as well as pursuing these topics at a more advanced level. The theory material is presented in a logical manner—developing special mathematical skills as needed. The mathematical background required of the reader is basic knowledge of differential calculus. Pertinent biomedical engineering examples are throughout the text. Drill problems, straightforward exercises designed to reinforce concepts and develop problem solution skills, follow most sections.

Bioinstrumentation - John D. Enderle

Download : Bioinstrumentation - John D. Enderle

 Bioinstrumentation

Desription:

his short book provides basic information about bioinstrumentation and electric circuit theory. Many biomedical instruments use a transducer or sensor to convert a signal created by the body into an electric signal. Our goal here is to develop expertise in electric circuit theory applied to bioinstrumentation. We begin with a description of variables used in circuit theory, charge, current, voltage, power and energy.

 

Next, Kirchhoff's current and voltage laws are introduced, followed by resistance, simplifications of resistive circuits and voltage and current calculations. Circuit analysis techniques are then presented, followed by inductance and capacitance, and solutions of circuits using the differential equation method. Finally, the operational amplifier and time varying signals are introduced. This lecture is written for a student or researcher or engineer who has completed the first two years of an engineering program (i.e., 3 semesters of calculus and differential equations). 

A considerable effort has been made to develop the theory in a logical manner—developing special mathematical skills as needed. At the end of the short book is a wide selection of problems, ranging from simple to complex.

Download Teach Yourself Electricity and Electronics

Description:

This book is for people who want to learn basic electricity, electronics, and communications
concepts without taking a formal course. It can also serve as a classroom
text. This third edition contains new material covering acoustics, audio,
high-fidelity, robotics, and artificial intelligence.
I recommend you start at the beginning of this book and go straight through.
There are hundreds of quiz and test questions to fortify your knowledge and help
you check your progress as you work your way along.
There is a short multiple-choice quiz at the end of every chapter. You may (and
should) refer to the chapter texts when taking these quizzes. When you think you’re
ready, take the quiz, write down your answers, and then give your list of answers to
a friend. Have the friend tell you your score, but not which questions you got wrong.
The answers are listed in the back of the book.

Stick with a chapter until you get
most of the answers correct. Because you’re allowed to look at the text during
quizzes, the questions are written so that you really have to think before you write
down an answer. Some are rather difficult, but there are no trick questions.
This book is divided into four major sections: Direct Current, Alternating Current,
Basic Electronics, and Advanced Electronics and Related Technology. At the
end of each section is a multiple-choice test. Take these tests when you’re done with
the respective sections and have taken all the chapter quizzes. Don’t look back at the
text when taking these tests. A satisfactory score is 37 answers correct. Again, answers
are in the back of the book.
There is a final exam at the end of the book. The questions are practical, mostly
nonmathematical, and somewhat easier than those in the quizzes. The final exam
contains questions drawn from all the chapters. Take this exam when you have finished
all four sections, all four section tests, and all of the chapter quizzes. A satisfactory
score is at least 75 percent correct answers.
With the section tests and final exam, as with the quizzes, have a friend tell you
your score without letting you know which questions you missed. That way, you will
not subconsciously memorize the answers. You might want to take a test two or
three times. When you have gotten a score that makes you happy, you can check to
see where your knowledge is strong and where it can use some bolstering.
It is not necessary to have a mathematical or scientific background to use this
do-it-yourself course. Junior-high-school algebra, geometry, and physical science
will suffice. I’ve tried to gradually introduce standard symbols and notations so it will
be evident what they mean as you go. By the time you get near the end of this book,
assuming you’ve followed it all along, you should be familiar with most of the symbols
used in schematic diagrams.
I recommend that you complete one chapter a week. An hour daily ought to be
more than enough time for this. That way, in less than nine months, you’ll complete
the course. You can then use this book, with its comprehensive index, as a permanent
reference.
Suggestions for future editions are welcome.
