System and Method for Adaptive Interference Suppression

Abstract

The disclosed invention provides a system and method for adaptive interference suppression for a signal in general and an ECG signal in particular. The method includes acquisition of a signal through an acquisition process. The signal is further passed through an FFT module configured to perform time windowing and FFT operation on the signal. The method further includes setting one or more fixed or adaptive thresholds for detecting tonal interferers in the signal. The method further includes choosing an appropriate filter for filtering the detected tonal interferers in the signal. Further, the detected tonal interferers are removed using the chosen appropriate filter. Finally, the method includes removing padding from the signal to eliminate residual edge effects.
