Q.1) (8 points) A temperature sensor catheter is designed for thermo-dilution measurements. The adopted sensor is a thermistor, which characteristic ሻ is represented by the following expression: ܴ݁ ఉሺଵ ்ିଵ ்బ ሻ ܴ (equal to Ω݇is the thermistor resistance at ambient temperature ܶܭand ߚis the material constant of the thermistor (equal to 4000 K). The thermistor has a dissipation coefficient ߜ in blood equal to ܭ/ܹ݉ . The conditioning circuit consists of a Wheatstone bridge (1/4 bridge). The circuit is modified by shunting the sensor ݐܴwith a resistor ܴin order to linearize the measurements around the body temperature ܶܭ . 1 - 1.a) The parallel resistor value is chosen according to the following formula: ்ܴሺܶሻ∙ ఉିଶ்್ ఉାଶ்್ . Explain how this formula can be obtained (computations are not required).
