Development of portable electrocardiogram signal generator

Abstract

To meet the rising popular demand on the treatment of diseases and health security, a portable medical electrocardiogram (ECG) signal generator is developed. With the integrated circuit design, microcomputer control technology, the communication technology and the corresponding software technology, the design utilizes Samsung's ARM chip S3C2410 as the whole system master chip, including micro controller, Ethernet communication interface, serial communication interface, USB communication interface, power supply circuit, DA conversion circuit and signal processing circuit. It not only realizes the functions of normal ECG signal generator, but also filters out actual human signal in ECG data. It can also compare different manufacturers of ECG products' performance through standard of database of ECG data. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
