3 graduate credits

Instructor: Professor Willis J. Tompkins
Phone: 608/263-1581
E-mail: tompkins@engr.wisc.edu

Course objective:
Integration of concepts from prior analog and digital coursework into a course focusing on biomedical digital signal processing algorithms for medical instruments.

Course description:
Study of biomedical digital signal processing. Emphasis on real-time analysis of electrocardiograms. Labs and programming project involve design of signal processing algorithms.

Prerequisite:
Knowledge of linear system analysis; digital system fundamentals and MATLAB computer programming.

Homework:
Problems from the textbook are assigned but not graded.

Lab:
Lab experiments will be recorded and will include signal conversion and digital processing of biomedical signals. Labs meet every week.

Lab project:
Design of signal processing algorithms for electrocardiogram processing using MATLAB on a PC.

Computer software:
PC DOS software called UW DigiScope (version 2.0) used for labs, available for download from the course web site.

Textbook:
