CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION
This project is based on the principle of photoplethysmography (PPG) which is a non-invasive method of measuring the variation in blood volume in tissues using a light source and a detector. Since the change in blood volume is synchronous to the heart beat this techni!ue can be used to calculate the heart rate. Transmittance and reflectance are two basic types of photoplethysmography. "or the transmittance PPG a light source is emitted in to the tissue and a light detector is placed in the opposite side of the tissue to measure the resultant light. #ecause of the limited penetration depth of the light through organ tissue the transmittance PPG is applicable to a restricted body part such as the finger or the ear lobe. $owever in the reflectance PPG the light source and the light detector are both placed on the same side of a body part. The light is emitted into the tissue and the reflected light is measured by the detector. %s the light doesn&t have to penetrate the body the reflectance PPG can be applied to any parts of human body. 'n either case the detected light reflected from or transmitted through the body part will fluctuate according to the pulsatile blood flow caused by the beating of the heart. There is a reflectance PPG probe to e(tract the pulse signal from the fingertip. % subject&s finger is illuminated by an infrared light-emitting diode. )ore or less light is absorbed depending on the tissue blood volume. *onse!uently the reflected light intensity varies with the pulsing of the blood with heart beat. % plot for this variation against time is referred to be a photoplethysmographic or PPG signal. The PPG signal has two components fre!uently referred to as %* and +*. The %* component is mainly caused by pulsatile changes in arterial blood volume which is synchronous with the heart beat. So the %* component can be used as a source of heart rate information. This %* component is superimposed onto a large +* component that relates to the tissues and to the average blood volume. The +* component must be removed to measure the %* waveform with a high signal-to-noise ratio. Since the useful %* signal is only a very small portion of the whole signal an effective amplification circuit is also re!uired to e(tract desired information from it. The use of T*,T-.. simplifies the build process of the sensor part of the project as both the infrared light emitter diode and the detector are arranged side by side in a leaded pac/age thus bloc/ing the surrounding ambient light which could otherwise affect the sensor performance. The output pulse can be fed to either an %+* channel or a digital input pin of a microcontroller for further processing and retrieving the heart rate in beats per minute (#P)).

The down converter is then passed through a bridge rectifier to be converted to -<2 +* supply. *apacitor /eeps the voltage to be constant but as e(pected the wave form contain a lot of ripples. Therefore voltage regulator is needed to correct the imperfection of the transformer. % -<2 >7-< is used to generate -<2 and 52 regulator >7.5 is used to generate 52 that is needed. 'n addition large capacitors are coupled with the regulator to offset any ripples or imperfection generated by the transformer. The rectifier and filter circuit which are used in the initial stages of a +* power supply is essential for the operation of almost all electronic devices. % rectifier circuit is a circuit which convert %* voltage to pulsating +*. There are < type of rectifier circuit are half wave rectifier and full Bave rectifier 3ow in the case of full wave rectifier circuit this allows a unidirectional current to flow through the load during the entire input cycle. %s a result of this output voltage that pulsates every half cycle of the input. % transformer is static piece of apparatus by means of which electric power in - circuit is transformed in to electrical power of the same fre!uency in another circuit.

The other +* output re!uires e(actly the same resulting in four individual junctions (See semiconductors8diode). "our rectifiers arranged this way are called a bridge rectifierE % full wave rectifier converts the whole of the input waveform to one of constant polarity (positive or negative) at its output by reversing the negative (or positive) portions of the alternating current waveform.

in the supply feeding it. 'n e(treme cases where many rectifiers are loaded onto a power distribution circuit it may prove difficult for the power distribution authority to maintain a correctly shaped sinusoidal voltage curve. "or a given tolerable ripple the re!uired capacitor siKe is proportional to the load current and inversely proportional to the supply fre!uency and the number of output pea/s of the rectifier per input cycle. The load current and the supply fre!uency are generally outside the control of the designer of the rectifier system but the number of pea/s per input cycle can be effected by the choice of rectifier design. % half wave rectifier will only give one pea/ per cycle and for this and other reasons is only used in very small power supplies. % full wave rectifier achieves two pea/s per cycle and this is the best that can be done with single phase input. "or three phase inputs a three phase bridge will give si( pea/s per cycle and even higher numbers of pea/s can be achieved by using transformer networ/s placed before the rectifier to convert to a higher phase order. To further reduce this ripple a capacitorinput filter can be used. This complements the reservoir capacitor with a cho/e and a second filter capacitor so that a steadier +* output can be obtained across the terminals of the filter capacitor. The cho/e presents a high impedance to the ripple current. 'f the +* load is very demanding of a smooth supply voltage a voltage regulator will be used either instead of or in addition to the capacitor-input filter both to remove the last of the ripple and to deal with variations in supply and load characteristics. 1.2.2 3 &e mi"!l 4$l&!*e e*%l!&$ f$ 7 / 4 The 0>7.. series of three-terminal positive regulators is available in T4<<.
