Abstract

This study is to dvelop a radiotelemetry system to transmit and receive ECG (electrocardiograph) and event signals by using the frequency division multiplexing(FDM) technique. ECG signal sensed by the electrodes is amplified and added to the event signals acting in different frequency range for lead-off, nurse call and low level battery by using FDM. The sub-carrier oscillator using Colpitts circuits and main carrier frequency which is multiplied is frequency modulated by this superhetrodyne technique, and demodulated from the compose IF signal through the quadrature demodulator. A pulse counter demodulator and filtering circuits extract the original ECG and event signals.

본 연구는 심전신호와 부가정보 신호의 다중신호를 주파수분할 다중방식과 주파수변조에 의해 무선전송하기 위함이다. 심전신호는 전극으로부터 유도되고 아날로그 증폭기에 의해 증폭된다. 전극 전착부실, 간호사 호출 및 저전압 배터리 신호의 부가정보 신호는 서로 주파수가 중복되지 않도록 발진되고 주파수분할 다중방식에 의해 합성되어 주파수 변조된다. 주파수 변조된 신호는 콜피츠회로에 의해 발진된 기본 반송파로 주파수 변조되고 체배되어 송신 반송주파수로 변환된다. 수신된 신호는 슈퍼헤테로다인 방식에 의해 중간주파수로 변환되고 쿼드래처 복조기에 의해 주파수 변조된 신호는 복조된다. 펄스카운터와 저역통과필터에 의해 심전신호와 부가정보 신호들은 복조된다.
