The embodiments of the present disclosure are for a signal processing circuit. The signal processing circuit includes an analog circuit. The analog circuit is used for processing an initial signal it receives. The initial signal includes a target signal and a noise signal. The analog circuit includes a first processing circuit and a second processing circuit. The first processing circuit is used to increase a ratio of the target signal to the noise signal, and output a first processed signal. The second processing circuit is used to amplify the first processed signal. A gain multiple of the second processing circuit to the first processed signal varies with a frequency of the first processed signal. The first processing circuit includes a common mode signal suppression circuit used to suppress a common mode signal in the initial signal, a lowpass filter circuit, and a high-pass filter circuit.

An ECG signal acquisition system includes a first amplifier which has a non-inverting input adapted to be coupled to a first differential input, an inverting input adapted to be coupled to a second differential input, and an output. The system includes first and second biasing resistors coupled between the non-inverting and inverting inputs of the first amplifier. The system includes an average estimation circuit which has a first input coupled to the non-inverting input of the first amplifier and a second input coupled to the inverting input of the first amplifier. The system includes a driver amplifier which has an inverting input coupled to the output of the average estimation circuit, a non-inverting input coupled to receive a reference common-mode voltage, and an output. The system includes a low-pass filter coupled between the output of the driver amplifier and the biasing resistors.

In the present invention, a right leg drive RLD monitoring system is employed on a medical computing system/computer, such as an ECG, HEMO and/or EP monitoring, mapping and/or recording system, that includes a number of RLD circuits to be utilized for different procedures or monitoring states to be performed using the system. The RLD monitoring system operates to actively monitor and/or record the feedback voltage to the RLD isolated from the patient. Using the measured feedback voltage data, the RLD monitoring system can identify and determine if the RLD circuit in use is approaching saturation, has reached saturation and the duration the RLD circuit was in saturation. The RLD monitoring system can concurrently and/or subsequently select and/or provide selection information regarding an optimal RLD circuit to be utilized to most effectively perform the desired function of the RLD in the procedure being performed using the monitoring, mapping and/or recording system.
