In the acquisition process of ECG, noise, which mainly consists of power line interference baseline drift and the EMG interference, often exists due to the instrument, the human body and other aspects. This noise mixed with the ECG, will causes ECG distortion, which makes the whole ECG waveform blurred, and impacts the subsequent signal processing and analysis. In this paper, Coif4 wavelet is used to make the ECG decomposed by 8 scale; at the same time, the wavelet decomposition and reconstruction method is used to remove baseline drift, and then the improved wavelet threshold method is used to remove power line interference and the EMG interference waveform to obtain accurate geocentric, providing a more accurate basis for the medical diagnosis.

An ECG is a biomedical non-stationary signal, which contains valuable information about the electrical activity of the heart. The ECG is very sensitive and a weak signal, hence, it gets corrupted by various types of noise such as power line interference, baseline wander, motion artifacts, muscle contractions, electrode contact noise, etc., that may lead to a misdiagnosis. Among these noise parameters the power line interference is very crucial because noise falls in the ECG bandwidth, i.e. 0.05 Hz to 100 Hz. The article proposes the removal of power line interference (PLI) noise in an ECG signal based on discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and adaptive filtering techniques. The results are compared with the existing notch filter both in time and frequency domain by filter performance parameters like ESD, MSE %PSD and SNR.
