Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Methods and apparatus for providing multi-stage signal amplification in a medical telemetry system are provided.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of processing signals from an analyte sensor, comprising: coupling a first amplifier to a second amplifier, the first amplifier operatively coupled to a signal source; operatively coupling an analog to digital (A/D) converter to the second amplifier; comparing signals at an output terminal of the second amplifier to a predetermined threshold value; and processing a signal associated with the signals at the second amplifier output terminal when…
