Abstract
Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a graphical record of the voltages generated during the heart beats, and is very useful in observing the status of the heart of the human or animals. In this paper, an ECG monitoring system is developed for the small animals, such as the rat. This system is very useful in monitoring the side effect of drugs. Since small animals have faster heart rate than the human case, the monitoring system has a faster sampling frequency and processing speed. Furthermore, for a realtime monitoring of the small moving animals, the system is composed of a small wireless ECG module, which is based on the IEEE 802.121.4 wireless physical layer. The developed wireless ECG system can successfully monitor the ECG of small animals, such as the rat.
