Synopsis

Approaches such as the Transfer Function and the Fourier and the Laplace transforms are important tools for bioengineers that often considered borrowed from electrical engineering. This text allows bioengineering students and bioengineers the ability to foster a sense of ownership of these tools by providing them with a solid foundation in the concepts of linear systems analysis.Circuits, Signals and Systems for Bioengineers guides readers through the basic engineering concepts that underlie biological systems, medical devices, biocontrol, and biosignal analysis. Material important to their study and traditionally taught in an electrical engineering service course can now be embraced by bioengineers. Instructive illustrations and MATLAB routines and examples are provided throughout the book.

• Translates important electrical engineering tools such as Fourier Transform, Laplace Transform, analog modeling, systems modeling, and other linear systems analysis techniques for bioengineering students.
• Includes MATLAB examples and problems.

About this title

About the Author

John Semmlow was a professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering of Rutgers University and in the Department of Surgery of Robert Wood Johnson Medical School UMDNJ for 32 years. Over that period he published over 100 review journal articles and has been appointed a Fellow of the IEEE, the AIMBE, and the BMES. He retired in June of 2010, but still remains active in research, particularly cardiovascular diagnosis and human motor control. He is actively pursuing a ‘second career’ as an artist, designing and building computer controlled kinetic art: sculptures that move in interesting and intriguing ways.

From the Back Cover

Circuits, Signals, and Systems for Bioengineers: A MATLAB Based Introduction, provides a clear, straightforward introduction to the basic engineering concepts related to signal processing and linear systems analysis. Major topics include the Fourier Transform, complex sinusoidal (phasor) analysis, the Transfer Function, the Laplace Transform, time and frequency domain representations, and convolution. The text is written to be very accessible, particularly to younger students, with deeper concepts, such as the Fourier series analysis and the Transfer Function, presented in a highly intuitive manner. The overriding objective of this text is to give students a solid foundation in the concepts of linear systems analysis and signal processing. Examples and problems are chosen to be instructive and include examples of relevant biomedical applications.KEY FEATURES:·Translates important electrical engineering tools such as, analog modeling, systems modeling, and other linear systems analysis techniques for bioengineering students.·Includes MATLAB examples and problems.RELATED TITLES:·Enderle, Blanchard & Bronzino: Introduction to Biomedical Engineering, 2nd edition, ISBN: 0-12-238662-0 ·Szabo: Diagnostic Ultrasound Imaging: Inside and Out, ISBN: 0-12-680145-2·Ratner et al: Biomaterials Science 2nd edition, 0-12-582463-7
