Consider the following model of a signal source
, electrode-electrolyte
interface,
, leads having parasitic capacitance
, and
load resistance,
. Here,
represents a
non-polarizable electrode model (
is the interface resistance and
is the skin resistance, there is no capacitance). Find an
expression for
in terms of
and
. Then sketch the Bode plot of
for
. Assume that
and
. (10 points)
- The following
curve is obtained after a thermodilution
experiment. Determine, as accurately as possible the cardiac output in
liters/minute. Assume that
and
:
- Consider the quadrature phase detector for estimating
in an Doppler ultrasonic flow-probe depicted below. Assume there is no
direct-path
interference present (this simplifies the arithmetic compared to what
we did in lecture). Derive formulas for
and
. After
and
have been converted into digital signals, describe how
one would compute
, (hint: assume your software is capable
of computing FFT's).
-
Design a device for measuring lung compliance (
). Assume you have at your disposal a water-sealed spirometer, a
pressure transducer, three differentiators, and a device for doing
division (inputs: x, y, output: x/y).
Sketch a block diagram of your design.
