This book introduces the basic mathematical tools used to describe noise, its propagation through linear systems, and a basic description of the improvement of signal-to-noise ratio by signal averaging and linear filtering. The author demonstrates how op amps are the keystone of modern analog signal conditioning systems design, and illustrates their use in isolation and instrumentation amplifiers, active filters, and numerous biomedical instrumentation systems and subsystems. It examines the properties of the ideal op amp, applies this model to the analysis of various circuits, and explores the ...building blocks... of the signal conditioning systems used to monitor and measure medical data.
