1. An ECG monitoring system comprising:
- two or more active electrodes, each active electrode having;
an electrode pad fixable to a patient to sense physiological potentials from the patient;
a common connection port; and
a wireless transmitter;
a common connector electrically connected to the common connection port of each of the two or more active electrodes to provide a comparator signal to each of the active electrodes; and
wherein each of the active electrodes includes a signal processing module configured to compare the physiological potentials sensed at the electrode pad against the comparator signal to generate a cardiac signal representing the physiological potentials for the active electrode, and wherein each active electrode is configured to wirelessly transmit the cardiac signal with the wireless transmitter.

Abstract
An ECG monitoring system includes two or more active electrodes, each active electrode having an electrode pad fixable to a patient to sense physiological potentials from the patient, a common connection port, and a wireless transmitter. The system further includes a common connector electrically connected to the common connector port of each of the two or more active electrodes to provide a comparator signal to each of the active electrodes. Each of the active electrodes compares the physiological potentials sensed at the electrode pad against the comparator signal to generate a cardiac signal, and then wirelessly transmits the cardiac signal with the wireless transmitter.
