Abstract

The increasing number of connected electronic devices in our daily lives contributes to a more dense electromagnetic environment, increasing the challenge of resilience to electromagnetic interference. This is particularly concerning when the context is healthcare and the devices currently used to assess one’s health condition. It is crucial that the development of new devices for biosignals acquisition takes into consideration the electromagnetic compatibility of the device from an early stage of the design. In this paper, a methodology to assess the immunity of a device based on direct power injection is proposed. We describe the setup used and the PCBs designed for the specific case of an ECG acquisition device. The validation of the setup is made with two scenarios previously evaluated in anechoic environment. We show that with the proposed setup we observe the same effects as in anechoic environment.
