BD4002 Analogue Section
US/FECG Input
, balanced signals from the ultrasound transducer are fed into the
differential amplifier which converts them to single ended mode. This is used on both
FH1 and FHR2 inputs.
FHR/FHR2 audio outputs are selected from the display panel when both transducers are
utilised
The US signal is then low-pass filtered and fed to the FMD section for further
filtering/amplification and also to the high-pass filter.
This bandpass filtered signal is then level controlled then boosted to drive the speaker.
It is also fed through a sharp low-pass anti-alias filter before arriving at the AGC input.
This DAC based stage allows the micro to regulate the ultrasound signal before
sampling.
US Timing Logic
, the master oscillator for the ultrasound system is also located on the
main PCB analogue section.
This 1.5MHz carrier is first amplified before being fed to the ultrasound transducers.
FECG
, the FECG leg plate output signal is low-pass filtered then fed to the AGC
circuit. In FECG mode the ultrasound signal is disabled and the AGC used to regulate
the FECG signal amplitude before sampling.
