Estimation of QRS Complex Power Spectra for Design of a QRS Filter

Thakor, Nitish V., Webster, John G., Tompkins, Willis J.·1984·IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering

Abstract

We present power spectral analysis of ECG waveforms as well as isolated QRS complexes and episodes of noise and artifact. The power spectral analysis shows that the QRS complex could be separated from other interfering signals. A bandpass filter that maximizes the signal (QRS complex)-to-noise (T-waves, 60 Hz, EMG, etc.) ratio would be of use in many ECG monitoring instruments. We calculate the coherence function and, from that, the signal-to-noise ratio. Upon carrying out this analysis on experimentaly obtained ECG data, we observe that a bandpass filter with a center frequency of 17 Hz and a Q of 5 yields the best signal-to-noise ratio.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
