In this paper several variable step size adaptive filter structures for extracting high resolution electrocardiographic (ECG) signals are presented which estimates the deterministic components of the ECG signal and removes the artifacts. The noise canceller minimizes the mean square error (MSE) between the input noisy ECG signal and noise reference. Different noise canceller structures are proposed to remove diverse forms of artifacts: power line interference, baseline wander, muscle artifacts and electrode motion artifacts. The proposed implementation is suitable real time applications, where large signal to noise ratios with fast convergence are required. Simulation studies shows that the proposed realization gives better performance compared to existing realizations in terms of signal to noise ratio, convergence rate and MSE.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
