  2. Electromagnetic Flowmeters blood vessel + Vo _ electromagnet indicator dilution methods assume flow rate is constant, only measure average flow. EM flowmeters enable measurement of instantaneous flow. EE 5340, SMU Electrical Engineering Department, © 1999

  3. Faraday’s Law -a moving conductor in a (possibly constant) magnetic field will have a voltage induced across it voltage induced across electrodes velocity of blood (m/s) magnetic flux density (Wb/m2) vector in direction of electrodes length of response is maximized when , , and are mutually orthogonal EE 5340, SMU Electrical Engineering Department, © 1999

  5. DC Flowmeter • use DC (constant) magnetic field • half-cell potential results across each sensing electrode, in series with the flow signal, even with non-polarizable potentials • pick up stray ECG • basically doesn’t work well, and DC flowmeters are not used. • flow frequency range: 0 - 30 Hz EE 5340, SMU Electrical Engineering Department, © 1999

  6. AC Flowmeter • frequency of : about 400 Hz • Vo becomes amplitude modulated sine wave: 400 Hz carrier 0 flow need a phase-sensitive demodulator EE 5340, SMU Electrical Engineering Department, © 1999

  7. Transformer Voltage blood vessel _ Vt + plane of electrode wires should be parallel to magnetic field. Otherwise, get transformer voltage, Vt, proportional to: EE 5340, SMU Electrical Engineering Department, © 1999

  12. Quadrature Suppression Discussed in Chapter 8 of text. To understand it fully, we must go over several modulation/demodulation methods: • Amplitude Modulation/Demodulation • Double Sideband Modulation /Demodulation • Quadrature Multiplexing/Demultiplexing EE 5340, SMU Electrical Engineering Department, © 1999

  14. Double Sideband (DSB) Modulation/Demodulation modulation: m(t) can be bipolar carrier frequency demodulation: this demodulator is phase sensitive LPF carrier frequency and phase must be known EE 5340, SMU Electrical Engineering Department, © 1999

  18. S Quadrature DSB (QDSB) Modulation -allows one to transmit two different information signals, m1(t) and m2(t) using the same carrier frequency, this enables more efficient bandwidth utilization. EE 5340, SMU Electrical Engineering Department, © 1999
