Abstract
This research report describes the design and results obtained using simple electronic circuits specially designed for implementing a single lung parameter tracking algorithm for identification of the mechanical properties of the lung. Unlike the commonly used loop-flattening technique, the adaptive electronic tracker is able to monitor continuously the mechanical properties of the respiratory system. It is capable of tracking the rapid changes in lung parameters as the frequency of breathing changes. The design of the adaptive tracker is based on equation-error formulation and the global asymptotic stability of the adaptive tracking equations is guaranteed. The cheapness and simplicity of the tracker makes it suitable for clinical applications.
