Power line interference is the main noise source that contaminates Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals and measurements. In recent years, adaptive filters with different approaches have been investigated to eliminate power line interference in ECG waveforms. Adaptive line enhancement filter is a special type of adaptive filter that, unlike other adaptive filters, does not require a reference signal and has potential application in ECG signal filtering. In this paper, a selflearning filter based on an adaptive line enhancement (ALE) filter is proposed to remove power line interference in ECG signals. We simulate the adaptive filter in MATLwith a noisy ECG signal and analyze the performance of algorithms in terms of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) improvement. The proposed algorithm is validated with Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) ECG signals database. Additive white gaussian noise is added to the raw ECG signal. Influential parameters on the ALE filter performance such as filter delay, the convergence factor, and the filter length are analyzed and discussed.

Background: The electrocardiogram(ECG) has the considerable diagnostic significance, and applications of ECG monitoring are diverse and in wide use. Noises that commonly disturb the basic electrocardiogram are power line interference(PLI), instrumentation noise, external electromagnetic field interference, noise due to random body movements and respiration movements. These noises can be classified according to their frequency content. It is essential to reduce these disturbances in ECG signal to improve accuracy and reliability. The bandwidth of the noise overlaps that of wanted signals, so that simple filtering cannot sufficiently enhance the signal to noise ratio. It is difficult to apply filters with fixed filter co-efficients to reduce these noise. Adaptive filter technique is required to overcome this problem as the filter coefficients can be varied to track the dynamic variations of the signals. Adaptive filter based on the least mean square (LMS) algorithm and recursive least squares (RLS) algorithm are applied to noisy ECG to reduce 50 Hz power line noise and motion artifact noise. Method: ECG signal is taken from physionet database. A ECG signal (without noise) was mixed with constant 0.1 mVp-p 50 Hz interference and motion artifact noise processed with Adaptive filter based on the least mean square (LMS) algorithm and recursive least squares (RLS) algorithm. Simulation results are also shown. Performance of filters are analyzed based on SNR and MSE.

The recordings of electrocardiogram (ECG), as an important biological signal which provides a valuable basis for the clinical diagnosis and treatment, are often corrupted by the wide range of artifacts. One important of them is power line interference (PLI). The overlapping interference affects the quality of ECG waveform, leading to the false detection and recognition of wave groups, and thus causing faulty treatment or diagnosis. The study deals with some of the signal processing approaches frequently used for elimination of PLI in ECG signal and compares the accuracy of methods by evaluation of the power of the remaining noise and comparing a filtered ECG signal with an original. The results are compared for three levels of interference and each tested method: Butterworth filter (BF), notch filter, moving average filter (MA), adaptive noise canceller (ANC), wavelet transform (WT) and empirical mode decomposition (EMD).
