ECG 신호해석을 위해서는 고해상도 스펙트럼 해석이 필수적이다. ECG 신호의 주파수 해석을 위하여 많이 사용된고 있는 FFT(Fast Fourier Transform)는 데이타 수가 적을때는 해상도가 나쁘고 Gibb의 현상을 보인다. ARMA 모델을 이용한 고해상도 스펙트럼 해석을 위하여 ARMA FTF(Fast Transversal Filter)알고리즘을 사용하였으며 ARMA FTF알고리즘의 불안정의 원인을 분석하고 이의 개선책을 제시하였다. 제안된 알고리즘을 사용하여 ECG 신호의 스펙트럼 해석에 적용하여 좋은 결과를 얻었다. 본 연구의 결과는 FFT를 사용한 결과보다 굴곡이 작아 컴퓨터를 이용한 진단에 유용하게 사용될 수 있으리라 생각된다.

In this paper, we would like to discuss the signal processing and the algorithm for ECG analysis. The ECG gives us information about the condition of the heart muscle, because myocardial abnormality or infarction is inscribed on the ECG during myocardial depolarization and repolarization. Analyzing the ECG signal, we can find heart disease, for example, arrhythmia and myocardial infarction, etc. Particularly, detecting arrhythmia is more important, because serious arrhythmia can take away the life from patients within ten minutes. The wavelet transform decomposes the ECG signal into high and low frequency component using wavelet function. Recomposing high frequency bands including QRS complex, we can detect QRS complex and eliminate the noise from the original ECG signal. To recognize the ECG signal pattern, we adopted the curve-fitting partially and statistical method. The ECG signal is divided into small parts based on QRS complex, and then, each part is approximated to the polynomials. Comparing the approximated ECG pattern with some kinds of heart disease ECG pattern, we can detect and classify the kind of heart disease.

This paper is about the personal identification algorithm using an ECG that has been studied by a few researchers recently. Previously published algorithm can be classified as two methods. One is the method that analyzes ECG features and the other is the morphological analysis of ECG. The main characteristic of proposed algorithm uses together two methods. The algorithm consists of training and testing procedures. In training procedure, the features of all recognition objects' ECG were extracted and the PCA was performed for morphological analysis of ECG. In testing procedure, 6 candidate ECG's were chosen by morphological analysis and then the analysis of features among candidate ECG's was performed for final recognition. We choose 18 ECG files from MIT-BIH Normal Sinus Rhythm Database for estimating algorithm performance. The algorithm extracts 100 heartbeats from each ECG file, and use 40 heartbeats for training and 60 heartbeats for testing. The proposed algorithm shows clearly superior performance in all ECG data, amounting to 90.96% heartbeat recognition rate and 100% ECG recognition rate.

The aim of this paper is to design and implement a new ECG signal monitoring and analysis method for the home care of elderly persons or patients, using wireless sensor network (WSN) technology. The wireless technology for home-care purpose gives new possibilities for monitoring of vital parameter with wearable biomedical sensors and will give the patient freedom to be mobile and still be under continuously monitoring. Developed platform for portable real-time analysis of ECG signals can be used as an advanced diagnosis and alarming system. The ECG features are used to detect life-threatening arrhythmias, with an emphasis on the software for analyzing the P-wave, QRS complex, and T-wave in ECG signals at server after receiving data from base station. Based on abnormal ECG activity, the server transfer diagnostic results and alarm conditions to a doctor's PDA. Doctor can diagnose the patients who have survived from arrhythmia diseases.

Small size real-time ECG signal analysis function by QRS-complex detection was put into sensor nodes. Wireless sensor nodes attached on the patient’s body transmit ECG data continuously in normal u-healthcare system. So there are heavy communication traffics between sensor nodes and gateways. New developed platform for real-time analysis of ECG signals on sensor node can be used as an advanced diagnosis and alarming system for healthcare. Sensor node does not need to transmit ECG data all the time in wireless sensor network and to server PC via gateway. When sensor node detects suspicion or abnormality in ECG, then the ECG data in the network was transmitted to the server PC for further powerful analysis. This system can reduce data packet overload and save some power in wireless sensor network. It can also increase the server performance.

Comparing the approximated ECG pattern with the database, we can detect and classify the heart disease. The ECG detection device consists of amplifier, filters, A/D converter and RF module. After amplification and filtering, the ECG signal is fed through the A/D converter to be digitalized. The digital ECG data is transmitted to the personal computer through the RF transceiver module and serial port.

ECG is used on purpose to keep good health or monitor cardiac function of aged person as well as on purpose to diagnose the disease of heart patients. The ambulatory ECG monitoring system under guarantee of safety and accuracy is very efficient to prevent the progress of heart disease and sudden death. These systems can detect the temporary change of ECG that is very significant to diagnose heart disease such as myocardial ischemia, arrhyamia and cardiac infarction. In this paper, we describe the ECG signal analysis algorithm and measurement device for ECG monitoring. The authors designed a small-size portable ECG device that consisted of instrumentation amplifier, micro-controller, filter and RF module. The device measures ECG with four electrodes on the body and detects QRS complex and ST level change in realtime. Also it transmits the measured signals to the personal computer. The developed software for ECG analysis in personal computer has the function to detect the feature points and ST level changes.

Heart rate is one of the most important signal to monitor the health condition of the patient or exerciser. Various wearable devices have been developed for the continuous monitoring of ECG signal from human body during exercise. Among these, ECG chest belt has been widely used. However wearing chest belt with ECG sensor is uncomfortable in normal life due to the electrode contact between metal electrodes of ECG sensor and skin of the human body. So we develop the royal healthcare backpack that can measure ECG signal without skin contact by using capacitor-type ECG sensor. The position of the measurement point is critical to collect a clear ECG signal in the capacitive ECG measurement from backpack. Various tests were conducted to find the optimal ECG measurement position which has less noise and could get strong and clear ECG signal during exercise, walking, hiking, mountain climbing and cycling.
