PLI Cancellation in ECG Signal Based on Adaptive Filter by Using Wiener-Hopf Equation for Providing Initial Condition

Abstract EN

This paper presents a technique for finding the optimal initial weight for adaptive filter by using difference equation.

The obtained analytical response of the system identifies the appropriate weights for the system and shows that the MSE depends on the initial weight.

The proposed technique is applied to eliminate the known frequency power line interference (PLI) signal in the electrocardiogram (ECG) signal.

The PLI signal is considered as a combination of cosine and sine signals.

The adaptive filter, therefore, attempts to adjust the amplitude of cosine and sine signals to synthesize a reference signal very similar to the contaminated PLI signal.

To compare the potential of the proposed technique to other techniques, the system is simulated by using the Matlab program and the TMS320C6713 digital board.

The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed technique enables the system to eliminate the PLI signal with the fastest time and gains the superior results of the recovered ECG signal.
