ABSTRACT:
In signal measurement circuits which are referred to a floating ground and which derive their input signals from electrodes attached to a patient's body, the effects of common mode potentials on the patient's body are minimized without requiring any patient electrodes other than those acting as signal sources by using a unity gain amplifier to drive the floating ground toward the common mode potential on the patient's body.
This process is accomplished without significantly degrading the isolation impedance between the measurement circuits and true ground.
The patient is protected from hazardous electrical shock by referencing the unity gain amplifier to a given point and connecting a large impedance between that point and true ground.
