1. A system for the transmission of physiological signals from a patient to a data receiving device comprising;
- a physiological data acquisition system for the detection of the desired physiological data from the patient and for processing an analog signal corresponding thereto;
an analog to digital conversion device operatively associated with said acquisition system for converting said analog signals corresponding to said physiological data to a serial digital data stream;
a spread spectrum signal transmission device which combines said serial digital data stream with a digital code sequence to form a combined transmission signal which is transmitted over a wide frequency bandwidth;
a spread spectrum signal receiving device which receives said combined transmission signal;
a data signal demodulation device for separating said serial digital data stream from said digital code sequence;
a data reformatting processor for the receipt and processing of said serial digital data stream from said demodulation device; and
a physiological data display, recording and/or analysis device for the receipt of the output from said reformatting processor.

Abstract
A system for the transmission of physiological signals from a patient to a display analysis and/or recording device using a spread spectrum transmission technique to reduce interference with the detection of the transmitted physiological signal wherein multiple channels of the physiological signals are transmitted over a bandwidth of approximately 3 MHz.

12. A method for transmitting physiological signals from a patient to a data receiving device comprising;
-
acquiring physiological signals from a patient; processing an analog signal corresponding to the physiological signals of the patient; converting the analog signal to a serial digital data stream; combining the serial data stream with a digital code sequence to form a combined transmission signal; transmitting the combined transmission signal between a spread spectrum transmitter and a spread spectrum receiver; receiving the combined transmission signal and separating the serial digital data stream from the digital code sequence; reformatting the serial digital data stream; and receiving the reformatted serial digital data stream with a physiological data display, recording and/or analysis device. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
