Design and implementation of low power FPGA-based optimal multiband filter with Spline function for denoising ECG signals

This article presents the design and implementation of a low power FPGA-based optimal multiband filter with Spline function for denoising ECG signals. The proposed multiband filter design utilizes least mean square algorithm to determine the optimal filter coefficients for multiple frequency bands, while the Spline function is used to interpolate the filter coefficients within each band to achieve a smooth transition between adjacent bands. The experimental work is carried out with ECGID database and it shows that the proposed filter outperforms in terms of benchmark performance matrices SNR, MSE, CC and PRD. The filter is implemented on a low power FPGA platform, which allows for real-time processing of ECG signals with low power consumption. The experimental results are analyzed and compared for different architecture using the MATLAB and XILINX VIVADO tools. The serial architecture of proposed filter design is implemented on Artix 7 (XC7A35T) EDGE Board, utilizing 1932 LUT, 5299 FF, 1 DSP block and 0.158 W on-chip power. The experimental results indicate that the proposed filter design approach is efficient, effective, and suitable for implementation in compact biomedical devices.PMID:38083871 | DOI:10.1080/10255842.2023.2285721
