Filtering ECG Signals with Two Filter Groups Using Different Design Approaches

Resource Overview

This experiment designs two sets of filters through different methodologies to filter ECG signals from data, eliminating power frequency interference, muscle tremor noise, and respiratory baseline drift. The study analyzes which filter group better meets practical application requirements, with enhanced descriptions of filter implementation strategies and algorithm selection.

Detailed Documentation

The objective of this experiment is to design two distinct sets of filters using different methodologies to process ECG signals in datasets. Our primary goal is to eliminate power frequency interference, muscle tremor noise, and respiratory baseline drift through appropriate filtering techniques—potentially implementing notch filters for powerline noise, band-stop filters for muscle artifacts, and high-pass filters for baseline wander. We will evaluate and compare the performance of both filter groups to determine which approach is more suitable for practical applications. Key considerations include filter design parameters (e.g., cutoff frequencies, filter order), implementation efficiency (e.g., IIR vs. FIR structures), and signal integrity preservation. Through this experiment, we aim to derive conclusive insights and provide valuable guidance on optimal filter design strategies for biomedical signal processing.
