title = "CMOS ECG, EEG and EMG waveform bio-simulator",
abstract = "Certification of medical equipment requires thorough testing. Prior to final testing of equipment (such as monitoring equipment) on a human volunteer, it is necessary to test equipment via emulation. This paper presents a bio-simulator that generates electrocardiogram (ECG) and electromyogram (EMG) signals by breaking a signal up into pulses and integrating these pulses, and electroencephalogram (EEG) signals by waveform shaping. The other set of signals generated are sinusoidal, square and triangular signals used in the calibration of medical equipment. As low frequency signals are needed for bio-medical applications, the paper also details how this was achieved (using capacitor multipliers). A complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) 0.35 μm process (Austria Microsystems (AMS)) is used for the implementation.",
