Abstract: In this paper, a high performance current-mode instrumentation amplifier has been proposed with low noise, low power and high CMRR features. The proposed design can adjust the gain with an external resistor for the processing of various biomedical signals. To reduce the noise of the amplifier, two design methods including PMOS input and lateral pnp BJT input have been implemented to improve the prior arts. To meet the single power supply need, a biomedical voltage level shifter is also proposed for low cost CMOS implementation. Based on the post-layout simulation results, the presented current-mode amplifier achieves high CMRR over 120 dB, power consumption of 61 uW at 1.8-V supply using standard 0.18-um CMOS technology.

Abstract: This paper researches the common mode rejection ratio (CMRR) of 3 op-amp instrumentation amplifier of amplifying weak signal and presents a new calculation modal considering noise, non-ideal amplifiers, matched resistor and application restricted by the factors of affecting CMRR. At last, a instrumentation amplifier was designed and built and its measured and computed results of modal are compared. The results show that this modal presented enhances calculating precision and extends application range of instrumentation amplifier. It is valid and reasonable.

Abstract: Mining portable static resistance strain gauge based on ATmega16L is introduced in this paper. It is used to monitor stress of bolt support in coal mines. The strain gauge is high-precision, simple and Chinese-displaying. It offers a more portable testing method of bolt support in coal mines for the workers.

Abstract: A new sensor-based temperature measuring system with high accuracy is presented in this paper. The temperature accuracy smaller then 0.02K is the measured performance of the measuring system after calibration at ten temperatures, over the -50°Cto 300°C targeted temperature range. Comparing with the traditional temperature measuring system, the advantages of the new sensor-based temperature measuring system are the high precision, immunity to noise, independent with the length of sensor wires and remote operation. And all these are at a low cost with less then 36mW of power consumption. Therefore the sensor-based temperature system is suitable for any field where reliable and accurate temperature measurement or a wide measurement range is necessary.
