A Pole Radius Varying Notch Filter with Transient Suppression for Electrocardiogram
نویسنده
چکیده
Noise removal techniques play a vital role in the performance of electrocardiographic (ECG) signal processing systems. ECG signals can be corrupted by various kinds of noise such as baseline wander noise, electromyographic interference, and powerline interference. One of the significant challenges in ECG signal processing is the degradation caused by additive 50 or 60 Hz powerline interference. This work investigates the removal of power line interference and suppression of transient response for filtering noise corrupted ECG signals. We demonstrate the effectiveness of infinite impulse response (IIR) notch filter with time varying pole radius for improving the transient behavior. The temporary change in the pole radius of the filter diminishes the transient behavior. Simulation results show that the proposed IIR filter with time varying pole radius outperforms traditional IIR notch filters in terms of mean square error and transient suppression. Keywords—Notch filter, ECG, transient, pole radius.

Suppressing Harmonic Powerline Interference Using Multiple-Notch Filtering Methods with Improved Transient Behavior
In signal processing it is often required to have multiple-notch filters which simultaneously possess a very selective magnitude response and a transient response of short duration. Multiple-notch filters are usually used to remove the powerline hum and its harmonics. It is known, that sharper notches are obtained by either using more coefficients in FIR filters, or by placing the pole closer t...
متن کاملStable IIR notch filter design with optimal pole placement
This paper presents a two-stage approach for designing an infinite impulse response (IIR) notch filter. First, the numerator of the transfer function of the IIR notch filter is obtained by placing the zeros at the prescribed notch frequencies. Then, the denominator polynomial is determined by using an iterative scheme in which the optimal pole placements are found by solving a standard quadrati...
متن کاملA technique for transient suppression of IIR notch filter
In this paper, a technique for suppressing the transient states of IIR notch filters is presented. This technique mainly uses the vector projection to find the good initialization of a notch filter. When a notch filter is used to cancel 60 Hz interference in the recording of electrocardiograms (ECG), the performance of the notch filter with transient suppression is better than that of the notch...
متن کاملSuppression of transients in time-varying recursive filters for audio signals
A new method for suppressing transients in time-varying recursive filters is proposed. The technique is based on modifying the state variables when the filter coefficients are changed so that the filter enters a new state smoothly without transient attacks, as originally proposed by Zetterberg and Zhang. In this contribution we modify the Zetterberg–Zhang algorithm to render it feasible for eff...
