Question 1
An electrocardiogram (ECG) biopotential amplifier records a differential cardiac signal of 1.0 mV alongside a common-mode power-line interference voltage of 2.0 V. If the differential gain is 1,000 and the Common Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR) is 80 dB, what is the amplitude of the common-mode interference appearing at the amplifier output?
Correct Answer:
0.20 V
Question 2
What primary operational objective is served by incorporating a Right Leg Drive (RLD) active feedback circuit into a clinical ECG monitoring system?
Correct Answer:
To active-drive common-mode displacement currents back into the patient, reducing common-mode noise and maintaining patient ground safety
Question 3
An electroencephalogram (EEG) signal contains clinical diagnostic spectral components up to 70 Hz (gamma band). According to the Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem, what is the absolute minimum theoretical sampling rate required, and what practical anti-aliasing cut-off strategy should be employed?
Correct Answer:
Minimum sampling rate 140 Hz; anti-aliasing low-pass filter set at or below 70 Hz before digitization
Question 4
A semiconductor piezoresistive strain gauge with a Gauge Factor (GF) of 120 is bonded to an orthopedic bone plate. If the plate experiences an axial mechanical strain of 500 microstrain (500 x 10^-6), what is the fractional change in electrical resistance (delta_R / R)?
Correct Answer:
0.060 (6.0%)
Question 5
During telemetry monitoring of a pulse oximetry plethysmogram, the root-mean-square (RMS) peak signal voltage is measured at 2.5 V, while the accompanying background RMS noise voltage is measured at 25 mV. What is the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) expressed in decibels (dB)?
Correct Answer:
40 dB
