A novel differential biopotential amplifier circuit was developed, controlling input current sources with common-mode voltage. This design significantly reduces common-mode voltages, enabling reliable biosignal acquisition in high electromagnetic interference environments.

Area of Science:

Biomedical Engineering
Electronics Engineering

Background:

High electromagnetic fields generate common-mode voltages that can saturate amplifier stages.
Existing biopotential amplifiers may struggle with signal integrity in noisy environments.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a differential two-electrode biopotential amplifier circuit.
To mitigate the effects of high common-mode voltages on biosignal acquisition.

Main Methods:

A circuit was designed where amplifier input current sources are controlled by the common-mode voltage.
Precision resistors were used to achieve a high differential input impedance.
The circuit achieves a low impedance between each input and the common point.
