Design FIR band pass filter with centered at 50 Hz for medical application

Abstract EN

Digital signal processing techniques used widely to cancel undesired parts of the signals, like that interference with other frequency range.

Electromagnetic signals can be interference with human body signals such as Electrocardio signal Electroencephalogram and Electromyography.

These interferences can be affect on the diagnosis signal during the examination and when these happen with different frequencies, such as (EMG) noise, devices that have high vibration which give fault data or effect the final result.

Filtering of signals interference is very useful in the diagnosis of biomedical cases, as instant as the ECG signal that represent weak signal.

This work treat problems of all kinds of interference with ECG signal and reduce it based on the development of digital Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filter for ECG signal which has the frequency between (5Hz to 100Hz) using fdtool by MATLAB instead of classical filters that often unaccurate.

It is hard to get pure signal from human body without any interferences specially with that range of frequencies.

In this paper the ECG signal has been presented from human body with its frequency spectrums before filtering then filtered from unwanted frequencies and show the elimination of the disturbance interference from this signal.
