A new recursive digital low-pass differentiator, derived from a resonator model, offers improved error distribution for electrocardiogram (ECG) processing. This method enhances R-wave detection and baseline stability in ECG signals.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Digital Signal Processing
  • Cardiology

Background:

  • Digital differentiators are crucial for analyzing physiological signals like electrocardiograms (ECGs).
  • Existing non-recursive differentiators used in ECG processing have limitations in error distribution.
  • Accurate R-wave detection and baseline drift suppression are essential for reliable ECG interpretation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To derive and evaluate a simple recursive digital low-pass differentiator based on a classical lossless resonator model.
  • To compare the error behavior of the proposed differentiator against a typical non-recursive digital low-pass differentiator.
  • To implement the recursive differentiator as a correlation receiver for QRS detection in ECG signals.

Main Methods:
