Abstract :
A digital algorithm was designed to produce bandlimited noise with adjustable median frequency and amplitude. This algorithm produces test signals with spectral characteristics typical of those of the surface myoelectric signals encountered in muscle fatigue studies. These synthesized signals provide the basis for standardized evaluation of the performance of various techniques which monitor the spectral compression of the myoelectric signal during muscle fatigue.
