ABSTRACT:
A defibrillator has a storage capacitor and a coil which are adapted for connection to biological tissue to form an RLC circuit through which a signal is discharged to the biological tissue. A measuring stage is coupled to the RLC circuit via a transformer for measuring selected characteristics of the signal. The coil is formed by a primary winding of the transformer, the primary winding thus providing the inductance for the RLC circuit. By incorporating the function of the coil into the transformer, the space necessary for a separate component is avoided and the overall structure can be made smaller.
