GATE 2024 BM – Question 63

Sensors and Bioinstrumentation · Sensors and Signal Conditioning · 2 marks · Numerical answer

A 4 mV biopotential enters an amplifier with differential gain 2000. Common-mode input noise is 1000 mV and output noise 200 mV. Find CMRR in dB, nearest integer.

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: 80 to 80

Explanation

Common-mode gain is output-noise/input-noise=200/1000=0.2. Differential/common gain ratio is 2000/0.2=10000. Hence CMRR=20log₁₀(10000)=80 dB. The signal amplitude is not needed once the differential gain is already supplied.
