Abstract

This paper proposes a real time digitally assisted analog motion artifact reduction ASIC with ECG measurement simultaneously. It features one ECG monitoring and in- and quad-phase electrode-skin impedance measurement, which are used to estimate motion artifacts. The implemented ASIC is capable of actual motion artifact reduction in the analog domain before final amplification.
