Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Signal Processing
  • Digital Filtering Techniques
  • Electrocardiography

Background:

  • Power-line frequency interference (50 Hz +/- 1.5 Hz) degrades electrocardiographic (ECG) signal quality, hindering accurate diagnosis.
  • Traditional filtering methods struggle with the variable nature of power-line frequency interference.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate and compare the performance of different digital filters in eliminating power-line frequency interference from ECG signals.
  • To investigate the efficacy of adaptive and rule-based filtering approaches for variable frequency interference.

Main Methods:

  • Performance analysis of linear Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filters, Wave Digital Filters (WDF), and Least Mean Squares (LMS) adaptive filters.
  • Development and evaluation of novel rule-based FIR and rule-based WDF systems.

  • Testing filters against power-line frequency variations from 48.5 Hz to 51.5 Hz.

    • Main Results:

    • The LMS adaptive filter demonstrates superior performance in removing power-line frequency interference, even with +/- 1.5 Hz variations.
    • Rule-based FIR and WDF filters show comparable performance to the LMS adaptive filter.
    • Fixed frequency filters are less effective when interference frequency deviates from the standard 50 Hz.

    Conclusions:

    • Adaptive filtering, particularly the LMS algorithm, is highly effective for mitigating variable power-line frequency interference in ECG signals.
    • Novel rule-based filter integration offers a promising alternative for robust interference removal.
    • Accurate ECG signal analysis is enhanced by effective power-line interference suppression.
