The instrument described has a linear indication of beat‐to‐beat heart rate with an overall accuracy of ±1 beat per minute. A linear output response over the range of 30 to 270 beats per minute is achieved with a square law discharge network. Input clipping and filter circuits permit reliable operation with moderately active subjects. Details of the circuit design and its performance are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
