Section A: Short Answer Questions


Attempt all questions. Each question carries 2 marks.

1. Define biomedical signal processing and its significance in healthcare.

2. Differentiate between deterministic and stochastic signals with examples.

3. Explain the concept of signal sampling and the Nyquist theorem.

4. What are the primary sources of noise in biomedical signals?

5. Describe the role of filters in biomedical signal processing.

6. Explain the importance of the electrocardiogram (ECG) in medical diagnostics.


7. What is the purpose of the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) in signal analysis?

8. Define the term 'artifact' in the context of biomedical signals.

9. Briefly describe the process of analog-to-digital conversion.

10. What are the challenges in processing electromyography (EMG) signals?

---

Section B: Medium Answer Questions


Attempt any five questions. Each question carries 6 marks.

1. Discuss the various methods of signal averaging used in biomedical signal processing.

2. Explain how the Least Mean Squares (LMS) algorithm reduces noise in signals despite the
gradient containing noise components.

3. In heart transplant procedures, there are two ECGs: 'old' and 'new.' Which one is of interest
and why?

4. What is wavelet detection? Explain the concepts of father and mother wavelets.

5. Describe adaptive wavelet detection and its applications in biomedical signals.

6. Explain the concept of overlapping wavelet detection and its significance.

Section C: Long Answer Questions


Attempt any three questions. Each question carries 10 marks.

1. a. Explain the meaning of lossy and lossless data compression in biomedical signals.
b. Why might an AZTEC reconstructed waveform be unacceptable to cardiologists?

2. a. Describe the fan algorithm and its applicability to various biomedical signals.
b. Given a dataset, derive the code using an appropriate coding technique and calculate the
average code word length.

3. a. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of modified Huffman coding in biomedical signal
compression.
b. Does the Turning Point (TP) algorithm produce significant time-base distortion over extended
periods? Provide reasoning.

Section D: Case Study


This section carries 20 marks.

Case Study: A biomedical engineer is tasked with designing a digital system for real-time ECG
signal processing. The system must effectively remove noise and artifacts, compress the data for
storage, and ensure that the reconstructed signal retains clinical integrity.

Questions:

1. a. Outline the steps involved in preprocessing the ECG signal to remove noise and artifacts.
(10 marks)
b. Discuss suitable data compression techniques for this system, highlighting their advantages
and potential drawbacks. (10 marks)
