Abstract
A noninvasive device for photoelectrically measuring a property of arterial blood is provided. Light that contacts living tissue with arterial blood is converted into a pair of electrical signals. The electrical signals are processed to provide information of the amplitude of the measured signals and are further processed to produce a final output signal that is substantially a square function of a ratio between the electrical signals representative of the amplitudes.
