This document summarizes a research paper that compares different digital filtering techniques for removing noise from electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. It describes how finite impulse response (FIR) filters were designed using various windowing techniques, including rectangular, Hamming, Hanning, and Blackman windows. Infinite impulse response (IIR) filters and wavelet transforms were also evaluated for denoising ECG signals. The performance of the different filtering approaches were compared based on the power spectral density and average power of the signals before and after filtering. The paper found that an FIR filter designed with the Kaiser window showed the best results for noise removal from ECG signals.
The document discusses digital filter design. It begins by defining digital filters and their purposes, which include signal separation and distortion removal. It then covers the main types of digital filters - finite impulse response (FIR) and infinite impulse response (IIR) filters. FIR filters are implemented non-recursively without feedback, while IIR filters use recursion and feedback. The document outlines FIR filter design methods like windowing and discusses applications of digital filters such as noise suppression, frequency enhancement, and interference removal. In conclusion, digital filters can have linear phase response and are not affected by environmental factors like heat.
This document contains 5 problems related to digital signal processing. Problem 1 involves designing a 25-tap finite impulse response (FIR) filter to approximate an ideal bandpass frequency response and plotting the filter's magnitude and phase response. Problem 2 repeats this for a bandstop filter. Problem 3 converts an analog filter to a digital infinite impulse response (IIR) filter using impulse invariance. Problem 4 does the same conversion using bilinear transformation. Problem 5 compares the two conversion methods and discusses their restrictions.

Echo Cancellation Algorithms using Adaptive Filters: A Comparative Studyidescitation
An adaptive filter is a filter that self-adjusts its transfer function according to an
optimization algorithm driven by an error signal. Adaptive filter finds its essence in
applications such as echo cancellation, noise cancellation, system identification and many
others. This paper briefly discusses LMS, NLMS and RLS adaptive filter algorithms for
echo cancellation. For the analysis, an acoustic echo canceller is built using LMS, NLMS
and RLS algorithms and the echo cancelled samples are studied using Spectrogram. The
analysis is further extended with its cross-correlation and ERLE (Echo Return Loss
Enhancement) results. Finally, this paper concludes with a better adaptive filter algorithm
for Echo cancellation. The implementation and analysis is done using MATLAB®,
SIMULINK® and SPECTROGRAM V5.0®.
Windowing techniques of fir filter designRohan Nagpal
Windowing techniques are used in FIR filter design to convert an infinite impulse response to a finite impulse response. The process involves choosing a desired frequency response, taking the inverse Fourier transform to get the impulse response, multiplying the impulse response by a window function, and realizing the filter. Common window functions include rectangular, Hanning, Hamming, and Blackman windows, which are selected based on the required stopband attenuation. The windowing technique allows designing FIR filters with a simple process but lacks flexibility compared to other design methods.
It is sometimes desirable to have circuits capable of selectively filtering one frequency or range of frequencies out of a mix of different frequencies in a circuit. A circuit designed to perform this frequency selection is called a filter circuit, or simply a filter. A common need for filter circuits is in high-performance stereo systems, where certain ranges of audio frequencies need to be amplified or suppressed for best sound quality and power efficiency. You may be familiar with equalizers, which allow the amplitudes of several frequency ranges to be adjusted to suit the listener's taste and acoustic properties of the listening area. You may also be familiar with crossover networks, which block certain ranges of frequencies from reaching speakers. A tweeter (high-frequency speaker) is inefficient at reproducing low-frequency signals such as drum beats, so a crossover circuit is connected between the tweeter and the stereo's output terminals to block low-frequency signals, only passing high-frequency signals to the speaker's connection terminals. This gives better audio system efficiency and thus better performance. Both equalizers and crossover networks are examples of filters, designed to accomplish filtering of certain frequencies.

Fir filter design (windowing technique)Bin Biny Bino
The window design technique for FIR filters involves choosing an ideal frequency-selective filter with the desired passband and stopband characteristics, and then multiplying or "windowing" its infinite impulse response with an appropriate window function to make it causal and finite. This windowing in the time domain corresponds to convolution in the frequency domain. Common window functions are used to truncate the ideal filter response while maintaining desirable filtering properties. MATLAB code can be used to implement windowed FIR filters.
The document discusses digital filters and their design process. It explains that the design process involves four main steps: approximation, realization, studying arithmetic errors, and implementation.

Analysis of Butterworth and Chebyshev Filters for ECG Denoising Using WaveletsIOSR Journals
Abstract: A wide area of research has been done in the field of noise removal in Electrocardiogram signals.. Electrocardiograms (ECG) play an important role in diagnosis process and providing information regarding heart diseases. In this paper, we propose a new method for removing the baseline wander interferences, based on discrete wavelet transform and Butterworth/Chebyshev filtering. The ECG data is taken from non-invasive fetal electrocardiogram database, while noise signal is generated and added to the original signal using instructions in MATLAB environment. Our proposed method is a hybrid technique, which combines Daubechies wavelet decomposition and different thresholding techniques with Butterworth or Chebyshev filter. DWT has good ability to decompose the signal and wavelet thresholding is good in removing noise from decomposed signal. Filtering is done for improved denoising performence. Here quantitative study of result evaluation has been done between Butterworth and Chebyshev filters based on minimum mean squared error (MSE), higher values of signal to interference ratio and peak signal to noise ratio in MATLAB environment using wavelet and signal processing toolbox. The results proved that the denoised signal using Butterworth filter has a better balance between smoothness and accuracy than the Chebvshev filter.

Performance Analysis of Acoustic Echo Cancellation TechniquesIJERA Editor
Mainly, the adaptive filters are implemented in time domain which works efficiently in most of the applications. But in many applications the impulse response becomes too large, which increases the complexity of the adaptive filter beyond a level where it can no longer be implemented efficiently in time domain. An example of where this can happen would be acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) applications. So, there exists an alternative solution i.e. to implement the filters in frequency domain. AEC has so many applications in wide variety of problems in industrial operations, manufacturing and consumer products. Here in this paper, a comparative analysis of different acoustic echo cancellation techniques i.e. Frequency domain adaptive filter (FDAF), Least mean square (LMS), Normalized least mean square (NLMS) &Sign error (SE) is presented. The results are compared with different values of step sizes and the performance of these techniques is measured in terms of Error rate loss enhancement (ERLE), Mean square error (MSE)& Peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR).

The document reviews common adaptive algorithms for echo cancellation, including LMS, NLMS, RLS, APA, FAP, and VSS-APA, comparing their convergence speed, complexity, and performance in different noise conditions. FAP provides faster convergence than NLMS for speech signals while having lower complexity than APA. VSS-APA uses variable step sizes to improve performance during double-talk and under-modeling scenarios.

This document discusses baseband shaping for data transmission. It introduces several digital modulation formats used for discrete PAM signals like unipolar, polar, bipolar and Manchester encoding. It then discusses factors that affect transmission like DC component, bandwidth, bit synchronization and error detection. It describes intersymbol interference and its causes like multipath propagation and bandlimited channels. It presents the baseband binary data transmission system model. Nyquist's criterion for zero ISI is defined. Practical solutions like raised cosine filters are discussed. The transmission bandwidth requirement is derived based on the rolloff factor. Finally, it describes what an eye diagram reveals about the system performance.
This document discusses various techniques for image enhancement in the frequency domain. It describes three types of low-pass filters for smoothing images: ideal low-pass filters, Butterworth low-pass filters, and Gaussian low-pass filters. It also discusses three corresponding types of high-pass filters for sharpening images: ideal high-pass filters, Butterworth high-pass filters, and Gaussian high-pass filters. The key steps in frequency domain filtering are also summarized.
Aliasing occurs when a high frequency signal appears as a low frequency after sampling. It can happen when sampling audio signals over time (temporal aliasing) or patterns in images spatially. Aliasing happens because sampling acts as a low-pass filter, and the Nyquist sampling criterion states the sampling frequency must be at least twice the highest frequency to avoid aliasing. An anti-aliasing filter before sampling can restrict the bandwidth to satisfy the sampling theorem, but a real filter cannot perfectly block frequencies and some aliasing may still occur, so systems often oversample to ensure accurate reconstruction. An ideal anti-aliasing filter completely passes frequencies below the cutoff and cuts off those above, but a physical filter has a transition band where signals
This document discusses moving average filters and their properties. It begins by defining the moving average filter equation and explaining that it operates by averaging neighboring points in the input signal. While simple, the moving average filter is optimal for reducing random noise while maintaining a sharp step response. It has poor performance in the frequency domain, however, with a slow roll-off and inability to separate frequencies. Relatives like multiple-pass moving average filters have slightly better frequency response at the cost of increased computation. The document provides examples and equations to illustrate the properties of moving average filters.
Asymmetric recursive Gaussian filtering for space-variant artificial bokehTuan Q. Pham
This document describes an asymmetric recursive Gaussian filter for space-variant artificial bokeh. The filter approximates two-dimensional space-variant blur using separable one-dimensional Gaussian filtering along the x- and y- dimensions. Within each dimension, the Gaussian filter is approximated by parallel forward and backward infinite impulse response (IIR) filters. The filter reduces intensity leakage at blur discontinuities by modifying the blur sigma of the IIR filters differently for the forward and backward passes as they approach discontinuities, resulting in an asymmetric space-variant filter. This asymmetric recursive filter is able to produce visually pleasing background blur for scenes with contents at different depths without smearing artifacts.
The document discusses sampling theory and analog-to-digital conversion. It begins by explaining that most real-world signals are analog but must be converted to digital for processing. There are three steps: sampling, quantization, and coding. Sampling converts a continuous-time signal to a discrete-time signal by taking samples at regular intervals. The sampling theorem states that the sampling frequency must be at least twice the highest frequency of the sampled signal to avoid aliasing. Finally, it provides an example showing how to calculate the minimum sampling rate, or Nyquist rate, given the highest frequency of a signal.

This paper proposes a method for image denoising using wavelet thresholding while preserving edge information. It first detects edges in the noisy image using Canny edge detection. It then applies a wavelet transform and thresholds the coefficients, preserving values near detected edges. Two thresholding methods are discussed: Visushrink for sparse images and Sureshrink for others. The inverse wavelet transform is applied to obtain the denoised image with preserved edges. The goal is to remove noise while maintaining important image features like edges. The method is described to provide better denoising than alternatives that oversmooth edges.
This document compares different wavelength assignment algorithms in WDM networks. It proposes a new Least Used Wavelength Conversion algorithm that aims to reduce blocking probability. The algorithm uses least-used wavelength assignment until blocking occurs, then introduces wavelength conversion to reduce blocking. Simulation results show the proposed algorithm has lower blocking probability than first-fit, random, most-used and best-fit algorithms. Blocking probability is evaluated under different network loads and number of wavelengths, demonstrating that blocking decreases with more wavelengths or lower loads.

This document summarizes the results of a finite element analysis of vibration effects on an internal combustion engine exhaust valve. The analysis sought to determine the natural frequency of the valve at which resonance might occur. A 3D CAD model of the valve was created and meshed before applying boundary conditions and material properties in ANSYS finite element software. Vibration analysis identified 5 modes of vibration with increasing frequencies up to a maximum of 1511.3 Hz, deemed the natural frequency. While deformations were largest at intermediate frequencies, the analysis concluded that vibrations near the natural frequency could damage the valve. Therefore, reducing deformation through constraints and maintaining operation below the natural frequency were recommended.

This document discusses using a triangular window-based FIR digital filter to remove powerline interference from ECG signals. ECG signals are often corrupted by noise such as powerline interference that can interfere with diagnosis. The authors designed a triangular window FIR filter with a modified triangular window function to filter ECG signals. They tested the filter on simulated noisy ECG data and found it successfully removed the 50Hz powerline interference, reducing the noise power. Analysis of the filter's magnitude, phase, and frequency responses indicated it provides stable and linear phase filtering required for ECG signal processing. The triangular window FIR filter is an effective technique for denoising ECG signals by removing powerline interference.

This document summarizes a research paper on echo cancellation using adaptive combination of normalized subband adaptive filters (NSAFs). The paper proposes using adaptive combination of NSAFs to achieve both fast convergence and low steady-state mean squared error. The input signal is divided into subbands, and NSAFs are adapted independently in each subband. Adaptive combination is then performed by adapting a mixing parameter that controls the combination of subband outputs. Experimental results show the proposed method achieves improved performance over conventional NSAF methods using fewer adaptive filters.

This document discusses echo cancellation using adaptive combination of normalized subband adaptive filters (NSAFs). It presents the following:
1. Fullband adaptive filters can have slow convergence due to correlated speech input and long echo path impulse responses. Subband adaptive filters (SAFs) address this by using individual adaptive filters in spectral subbands.
2. Adaptive combination of SAFs provides a way to achieve both fast convergence and small steady-state error. It independently adapts filters with different step sizes, then combines them using a mixing parameter adapted by stochastic gradient descent.
3. The proposed method adaptively combines NSAFs in subbands. It uses a large step size filter for fast convergence and a
This document analyzes noise estimation and power spectrum analysis using different window techniques. It summarizes the results of applying rectangular, triangular, Hanning, Hamming, Kaiser, Blackman, and Chebyshev windows to a 500 sample length signal with a sampling frequency of 500 Hz.

signal is corrupted by different types of noise, sometimes
originating from another physiological process of the body. Hence,
noise removal is an important aspect of signal processing. Here five
different filters i.e. median, Low Pass Butter worth, FIR, Weighted

The document discusses several topics in digital signal processing including polyphase decomposition, discrete cosine transform (DCT), Gibbs phenomenon, and oversampled analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). Polyphase decomposition allows for more efficient implementation of decimation and interpolation filters. DCT is used for image compression and represents data in the frequency domain using cosine waves. Gibbs phenomenon causes ripples near discontinuities that cannot be fully removed. Oversampling ADCs sample at a higher rate than Nyquist to reduce noise and simplify anti-aliasing filters.
DSP_2018_FOEHU - Lec 06 - FIR Filter DesignAmr E. Mohamed
This lecture discusses the design of finite impulse response (FIR) filters. It introduces the window method for FIR filter design, which involves truncating the ideal impulse response with a window function to obtain a causal FIR filter. Common window functions are presented such as rectangular, triangular, Hanning, Hamming, and Blackman windows. These windows trade off main lobe width and side lobe levels. The document provides an example design of a low-pass FIR filter using the Hamming window to meet given passband and stopband specifications.
This document summarizes the design and analysis of a digital fixed notch filter using MATLAB. The purpose of the notch filter is to remove a narrowband interference signal at 90MHz while leaving the broadband signal unchanged. An elliptic design method and direct form II structure are used to design a second-order notch filter with center frequency of 90MHz. The filter performance is analyzed by varying the quality factor from 2 to 100,000 and evaluating responses like pole-zero plot, magnitude response, and step response. Higher quality factors result in sharper notch responses but increased complexity. A quality factor of 100,000 provides the best noise rejection with minimal settling time and complexity for a second-order filter.

This paper presents a reconfigurable processor for different digital signal processing applications.

This paper investigates the potential use of FPGAs for implementing efficient “Reconfigurable Processor” for different dsp applications. The proposed processor is based on parallel re-configurable which is implemented on FPGA. FPGAs have become an important component for implementing these functions with respect to cost, performance and flexibility. The general purpose SPARTAN 3AN FPGA kit has been employed for developing reconfigurable processor, with all the coding done using the hardware description language VERILOG.
Digital filters can remove unwanted noise from signals or extract useful frequency components. They operate by sampling an analog signal, processing the digital values, and converting back to analog. Finite impulse response (FIR) filters use weighted sums of past inputs for outputs and are inherently stable without feedback. Infinite impulse response (IIR) filters use feedback, with outputs and next states determined by inputs and past outputs. Common filters include moving average filters and filters that introduce gain, delay, or differences between signal values. Design involves selecting coefficients for desired frequency responses. Stability depends on pole locations within the unit circle. Digital filters find applications in communications, audio, imaging, and other areas.

serious problems. Digital filter are designed to remove this
limitation. FIR with different windowing method is used. The

[1]. Many times when ECG signal is recorded from surface
electrode that are connected to the chest of patient, the surface
electrode are not tightly in contact with the skin as the patient
breath the chest expand and contract producing a relative
motion between skin and electrode. This results in shifting of
baseline which is also known as low frequency baseline wander.
The fundamental frequency of baseline wander is same as
that of respiration frequency. It is required that baseline

A window function from –wc to wc is employed to show the
windowing effect[15].
There are different windowing functions. The important
window functions are rectangular window, Hamming,
Hanning, Blackman windows [15].
· Rectangular Window
The filter is required to have finite number of values within a
certain interval, from -M to M. This is equivalent to
multiplying d (k) by a rectangular function given by

· Hamming Window
Discontinuties in the time function cause ringing in the
frequency domain. The rectangular window is replaced by a
window function ending smoothly at both ends which will
cause reduction in ripples. The hamming window is an
important window function. The hamming window is defined

Where N is the order of the filter and M is the window
length. This equation defines the window samples as already

the FIR low pass filter designed using the hamming window
is [15]:

The difference of Hamming window is performed window
function. This function is quite similar to the Hamming
window.
· Blackman Window
The Blackman window exhibits a lower maximum stop band
ripple in the resulting FIR filter than the Hamming window.
It is defined mathematically as:
= 0.45 + 0.5 cos π
+ 0.08 cos π
…(8)
The width of the main lobe in the magnitude response is
wider than that of the Hamming window.
· High Pass Filter Design
The amplitude response of a low pass filter is shown in Fig.
5. Low pass filter is first applied, and with simple
transformations the high pass filter can then be easily
performed.

Since the role of fpass and fstop are interchanged in order to design
high pass filter. The ideal high pass impulse response is obtained
from the inverse Fourier transform of the ideal high pass frequency
response. It is specified by equation 12:

C. IIR Filter Design
An IIR filter is one whose impulse response theoretically continues
for ever because the recursive terms feedback energy into the filter
input and keep it as specified in the following equation:

The theory of Butterworth function is explained here but, the order
of the filter should be high and implementing a filter of that order
is not easy to perform. In addition to this difficulty, solving these
high order equations is not straightforward.

A wavelet[11] is a wave-like oscillation with amplitude that starts
out at zero, increases, and then decreases back to zero. It can
typically be visualized as a brief oscillation like one might see
recorded by a seismograph or heart monitor. Generally, wavelets
are purposefully crafted to have specific properties that make them
useful for signal processing. Wavelets can be combined, using a
shift, multiply and sum technique called convolution, with
portions of an unknown signal to extract information from the
unknown signal.
As wavelets are a mathematical tool they can be used to
extract information from many different kinds of data,
including - but certainly not limited to – audio signals and
images. Sets of wavelets are generally needed to analyze data
fully.
III. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION
In this paper various noise removal techniques are applied to
ECG signals[10], ECG database data sample, and the
performance of these approaches are studied on the basis of
spectral density and average power of signal. In the first step,
the most simple approach which is linear trend or a piecewise
linear trend to remove baseline drift is applied after that
various digital filters are applied to the noisy ECG data
having Baseline noise as shown in fig 4.1 then the wavelet
approach is used for overall denoising of ECG signal and
finally the digital filter is applied on the sample ECG signal
to remove Power line noise. All of the above steps are
performed using MATLAB software
Calculation of parameters
The two important parameters to check the suppression of
Baseline noises are spectral density and average power of
signal[6]
Power spectral density :
Table1 and 2 shows the comparison of different filters. The
trade-off between spectral density and average power is best
among all the filters. But it can also visualize that the
waveform got distorted to some extend in case of rectangular
window. The Kaiser Window and rectangular window is also
showing better results at the expense of some more
computational load as the order of the filter is large. But in
case of remaining windows i.e. Hanning and Blackman
windows, the order of filter easily grow very much high. It
increases the number of filter coefficients which increases the
large memory requirement and problems in hardware
implementation. So, the Kaiser Window filter can be best choice
for the removal of Baseline wandering among filters[2].

IV CONCLUSION
This paper concludes the work in this thesis; digital FIR and IIR
filter with wavelet for removal of Baseline noise were
implemented in MATLAB. It is observed that the choice of the
cut-off frequency is very important, a lower than required cut-off
frequency does not filter the actual ECG signal component,
however some of the noise successfully, but the ECG signal is
distorted in the process. Cut-off frequency varies corresponding
to heart rate and baseline noise spectra. Thus, constant cut-off
frequency is not always appropriate for baseline noise
suppression; it should be selected after a careful examination of
the signal spectrum.
When FIR filter with wavelet is applied on signal it can be
observe that the combination of Kaiser and wavelet yield the
smallest phase delay among all the FIR filters combination. It
can remove the Baseline noises without distorting the waveform.
But the order of filter is 450.However, high filter orders are
required to obtain this satisfactory result and this increases the
computational complexity of the filter. Furthermore, there is
significant delay in the filter result, thus this combination can be
applied to long data window. Therefore, this combination is
appropriate only for offline application, but for real time
application, in which short intervals of data is filtered and fast
implementation is important, FIR is not an appropriate filtering
method.IIR and wavelet combination is more appropriate for real
time filtering application due to its lower computational
complexity, and its better trade-off between average power and
spectral density. It completely eliminates the oscillations
produced at the starting of the waveform called ringing effect.
For performance analysis we use different baseline noise
removal methods for the purpose of comparison. The results are
presented in the tabulation form. From the table it can conclude
that it outperform the other method.
