Baseline Wander and Power-Line Interference Removal from ECG Signals Using Fourier Decomposition Method

摘要

Analysis of electrocardiogram (ECG) signals helps us in detecting various abnormalities and diseases of heart. These signals commonly suffer from the problems of baseline wander and power-line interference. In this paper, we propose a new approach to eliminate such noises from ECG signals using the Fourier decomposition method. Simulation results are presented to show the efficacy of our method over previously used EMD-based methods. The proposed method has been shown to preserve shape characteristics of ECG signals of heart abnormalities.
