Abstract

Diverse digital filters have been designed previously to eliminate powerline(AC) interference in the electrocardiouam. This paper describes filtering methods which have been developed recursive notch, adaptive, IEF(Incremental Estimation Filter) and proposes a new AIEF(Advanced Incremental Estimation Filter) method. The performances of these filters are compared on artificial signals as well as actual ECG signals with the aid of validated CSE(Common Standards for Quantitative Electrocardiowaphy). AC interference in this database is shown to exhibit two qualities especially relevant to filter design : considerable deviations from a nominal 60Hz frequency and substantial noise at higher harmonics.
