Q&A Can the corner frequency of thermal noise change with change in source impedance?

Any time you have a dielectric interface ( ___ pF ) source resistance will always have an error in signal response until the electrode impedance is eqal or less than the sub-cutaneous impedance. T...

Q&A Can the corner frequency of thermal noise change with change in source impedance?

The thermal noise of a resistance depends only on that resistance. However, there is always some parasitic capacitance. That capacitance against the resistance causes a low pass filter. So in a ...

Q&A Can the corner frequency of thermal noise change with change in source impedance?

In EMG there is a certain level of thermal noise created at the electrode-gel-skin interface which depends on the skin-electrode impedance (also known as source impedance). I have been able get th...
