Abstract :
A front-end biopotential measurement module which could be applied to the measurement of surface biopotential is presented in this study. This module, mainly composed of an isolation amplifier (iso. amp) and an active electrode, has the advantages of low cost, easy implementation and no need of skin preparation and paste. The user could also easily modify this module to their specific applications. The design of the measurement module and its characteristics are also demonstrated
