Noise removal techniques play a vital role in the performance of electrocardiographic (ECG) signal processing systems. ECG signals can be corrupted by various kinds of noise such as baseline wander noise, electromyographic interference, and powerline interference. One of the significant challenges in ECG signal processing is the degradation caused by additive 50 or 60 Hz powerline interference....

Active power filter (APF) has now become a mature technology for harmonic and reactive power compensations in two-wire (single phase), three-wire (three phase without neutral), and four-wire (three phase with neutral) ac power networks with nonlinear loads. This paper presents a study on three different adaptive algorithms for active power filtering applications. These algorithms are adaptive l...

Electrocardiography (EKG) systems provide a solution for the recording of the heart activity and are indispensable in patient monitoring. Interfacing the EKG system with the human body is done with analog signal processing and operates towards proper signal conditioning. The EKG analog interface consists of an instrumentation amplifier, a notch filter and a highpass filter. This paper proposes ...

In the last few years, several microwave filter design with band-pass response have been proposed for ultra-wideband (UWB) application. Among various microwave filter design, microstrip filter are mostly used by researcher due to their low profile, light weight, easy to fabricate and low cost. Conventional microstrip filter can be in any shape whether circular, rectangular or elliptical but som...

A common method to eliminate unwanted power line interference in neurobiology laboratories where sensitive electronic signals are measured is with a notch filter. However a fixed-frequency notch filter cannot remove all power line noise contamination since inherent frequency and phase variations exist in the contaminating signal. One way to overcome the limitations of a fixed-frequency notch fi...

Abstract—Traditional space-time adaptive processing (STAP) algorithm not only have a big computation, but also cannot suppress the multiple narrowband jammer and the narrowband jammer which come from the same direction with the useful signal. Focus on these problems, an improved GPS anti-jam multistage nested Wiener filter (MSNWF) method which combines with multistage IIR lattice notch filter w...

In this letter, a design of Compact Ultra-Wideband (UWB) bandpass filter with a switchable notch band for WLAN (5.3-5.9GHz) interference rejection is proposed. As 5.3-5.9GHz wireless local area network (WLAN) is existed in UWB spectrum range (3.1 -10.6GHz) and may interfere with UWB system operation. The UWB bandpass filter is implemented using a basic multiple mode resonator (MMR) structure fe...

In this paper, a simple method to obtain a notch in the ultra-wideband (UWB) bandpass filter is presented. UWB bandpass filter is designed using ground plane aperture technique. To reject the undesired wireless local area network (WLAN) signals, a complementary single split ring resonator (CSSRR) is placed under the coupled lines of the bandpass filter. The CSSRR has flat insertion loss and goo...

Periodically time-variant passive 8-path notch filters are demonstrated in 65nm CMOS technology, with a notch frequency tunable from 100MHz to 1.2GHz with a clock signal. In a 50Ω environment, filter insertion loss in the pass band is 1.4-2.8dB, while the rejection at the notch frequency is >20dB. Given their P1dB> +2dBm and IIP3> +17dBm, the filters can protect radio receivers from blocking ov...
