FPGA-derivative module for bioimpedance signal Based derivative module for bioimpedance signal Based derivative module for bioimpedance signal Based derivative module for bioimpedance signal

Summary Input here the part of summary. The use of Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) instead of Digital Signal Processors (DSP) or microcontrollers increases because of its flexibility. In this paper, a novel approach is proposed to implement derivative unit of plethysmographic signal using FPGA components. The module design optimization is realized by following rigorously an efficient methodology. The validity of the proposed method is shown through simulation results.
