Lecture-6Transducers For Biomedical Field

Transducers are devices that convert one variable into another form. They are used to measure physiological variables that vary over time. Transducers can be either active or passive. Active transducers convert variables into electrical signals using principles like magnetic induction, piezoelectric effect, or thermoelectric effect. Passive transducers utilize controlling excitation voltage or modulating carrier signals and cannot directly convert to electrical signals. Common principles for passive transducers include resistive, inductive, and capacitive elements. Transducers have various biomedical applications depending on the measurement principle, such as resistive transducers for force, strain, and humidity and piezoelectric transducers for pulse pickup and ultrasound.

Transducers

1
Transducers
• A transducer is necessary to convert one variable in to another
form
• Used to measure physiological variables

• Variable is a quantity that vary with time.

– The term active and passive has different meaning


when they are applied to Transducers

2
Transducers
• Transducer can be classified in to two
• Active Transducer
– Known principles is used to convert variables in
to electrical signal
• Passive Transducer
– It involves control of an excitation voltage or
modulation of a carrier signal

3
Principles used in Active Transducers
• It can convert electrical signal in to physical variables and
also in reverse direction.

1. Magnetic Induction

2. Piezoelectric effect

3. Thermoelectric effect

4. Photoelectric effect

4
Passive Transducers
• Utilize the principles of controlling a DC excitation or an AC
carrier signal.
• It consists of a passive circuit element which changes it value
as a function of physical variables to be measured.
• It cannot convert electrical signal in to physical variables

5
Principles used in Passive Transducers
• Using Resistive element
1. Ordinary Potentiometer
a. Linear
b. Rotary
2. Strain gauge
a. Un bonded
b. Bonded
c. Semiconductor strain gauge
