Design of a transducer-based amplifier system similar to an electronic stethoscope
An electronic stethoscope is used to listen to the sound in a human body such as the heart or lungs. In this project, the electronic stethoscope is powered by a 2 AA battery. The electronic stethoscope consists of a microphone, pre-amplification circuit, filter circuit, power amplifier circuit as we...
