This study introduces an improved adaptive canceller to remove power line interference from electrocardiogram (ECG) recordings. The new method significantly enhances signal quality by effectively suppressing both fundamental interference and its harmonics.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Signal Processing

Background:

  • Power line interference is a common artifact in biomedical recordings.
  • Existing methods like notch filters and adaptive cancellers have limitations in fully removing this interference.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an improved adaptive canceller for reducing power line interference in electrocardiogram (ECG) recordings.
  • To effectively suppress both the fundamental power line interference and its harmonics.

Main Methods:

  • An improved adaptive canceller was developed to track amplitude, phase, and frequency of interference components.
  • The method accommodates power line frequency deviations up to approximately 4 Hz.
  • Performance was compared against previous adaptive cancellers and notch filters using a real ECG signal corrupted with artificial interference.

Main Results:

  • The improved adaptive canceller achieved a signal-to-power-line-interference ratio up to 30 dB higher for the fundamental component compared to other methods.
  • The proposed method demonstrated effectiveness in suppressing harmonics of the power line interference.
  • The cleaned signal quality was evaluated against the original ECG signal.

Conclusions:

  • The improved adaptive canceller offers superior performance in mitigating power line interference in ECG signals.
  • This method provides a robust solution for enhancing the quality of biomedical recordings corrupted by power line noise.
  • The technique is effective for both fundamental interference and its associated harmonics.
