#181446 - What about the character of the signal?
Responding to: ???'s previous message
How much of the "information" in the signal are you trying to preserve? If you just have an essentially digital signal, it might be easy to process it through an "RS232" receiver, e.g. MC1489 or the like, which will translate it into a digital TTL-compatible signal, thereby skipping the business of shifting the levels in analog format. If there's information aside from the rate, however, you probably do want to shift it, and adding a DC bias to it quite straightforward.

If, by "send it to a processor", you mean to convert it to digitized format, you have other options, e.g. using a converter that processes voltage in that range into unipolar digital format. Once in digital format, you have multiple options.

Adding a DC biac to a bipolar signal?            01/01/70 00:00      
   summing            01/01/70 00:00      
      Resitor bias            01/01/70 00:00      
         Yes, mentioned but maybe missed            01/01/70 00:00      
   What about the character of the signal?            01/01/70 00:00      
      Information content..            01/01/70 00:00      
         Hardly....            01/01/70 00:00      
            So the only option would be software RMS?            01/01/70 00:00      
               100Hz or 100 beats per minute?            01/01/70 00:00      
                  100Hz.            01/01/70 00:00      
                     50-150Hz is in the range of AD637!            01/01/70 00:00      
                        That's great! (but some other concerns...)            01/01/70 00:00      
                           Can you show us a typical signal?            01/01/70 00:00      
                              A Typical EMG Signal            01/01/70 00:00      
                                 Probably tough for rms chi            01/01/70 00:00      
                                    I'm working with a dsPIC            01/01/70 00:00      
                                       Shouldn't be too expensive            01/01/70 00:00      
                                 Give the AD637 a try...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                    Look at LTC1966            01/01/70 00:00      
                                       Interesting...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                          Just received a fresh new batch of AD637s            01/01/70 00:00      
               Negative supply voltage available?            01/01/70 00:00      
   Does your system have a driven electrode?            01/01/70 00:00      
   better be careful            01/01/70 00:00      
      Regrowth            01/01/70 00:00      
         are you suggesting that humans are expendable?            01/01/70 00:00      
            All precautions taken.            01/01/70 00:00      
            Obviously            01/01/70 00:00
