The electrocardiogram test is performed based on 3 key points of

This type of design is used to amplify signals in the range of Obtaining the electrocardiogram graph has a characteristic

there are values in mV for the amplification of the signal.

obtained at the output At the beginning we had a pre-amplifier circuit due to low
signal voltage values and later we have the filtering generated
by movements, the power supply is a source of noise, the
capacitances between the elements, long wires present in the
circuit, as well we have low pass filter that allows the passage
of the lower frequency signals, the high pass filter allows the
passage of signals greater than the frequency of cut, the filter
rejects band that allows the passage except for signals in the
specified band .
A crucial part in the development of the circuit was to test
the signal obtained at the output of the instrumentation
amplifier because it would only refine the acquired signal
V. CONCLUSIONS
Figure 12. Signal output ECG circuit
The elaboration of the electrocardiogram depends entirely on
the correct design of the amplifiers, the main factor of error is
the noise.
