This paper presents an adaptive coherent averaging structure capable of removing broad-band interference from the electrocardiogram (ECG) while preserving the morphological features of the signal. The proposed structure improves the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the adaptive line enhancer (ALE) while maintaining robustness to quasi-periodic signals. The least mean-square (LMS) and recursive least-square (RLS) adaptive algorithms are implemented. Analysis and comparison of the results is provided, leading to an optimized hybrid implementation. The cascade nature of the proposed structure is both scalable and suitable for implementation in real-time hardware.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
