The work presented here deals with a simple and efficient way of detecting ECG features that are P, Q, R, S and T waves. Windowing method is used to select these waves. Windows are based on varying R-R intervals. It has been tested on ECG simulator data and also on different records of the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database, producing satisfactory results. ECG timing intervals are also required for monitoring the cardiac condition of patients. Hence after feature detections ECG timing intervals like the PR interval, QRS duration, the QT interval, the QT corrected interval and Vent Rate are efficiently calculated using proposed Formulae.展开更多

This paper also analyzes the Signal to ICI plus Noise Ratio (SINR) and Bit Error Rate (BER) performances of the receiver. Additionally, this paper proposes a method to select optimum window parameters to maximize the SINR of the receiver thus providing an adaptive receiving capability. Our results show that the proposed method enables the use of unity roll-off factor, provides better SINR and BER than conventional receive methods whose roll-off factors are generally less than one. The new second order polynomial window is shown to provide better performance than raised cosine and "better than " Nyquist window.展开更多
