Biopotential Requirements High Input Impedance

– Minimum loading of the signal being measured– Minimum 10M

Input circuit must have isolation and protection circuits to protect the patient

Output Impedance must be low compared to the load impedance

Proper bandwidth range. Not too narrow and not too wide

Gain at least 1000 times For bipolar electrodes, use differential amplifier
