Field programmable gate Array Implementation Method of Electrocardiogram Signal Processing and Analysis

In this paper, we designed and implemented the Electrocardiogram (ECG)signal preprocessing into a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), and extracted ECG signal´s feature. It performed ECG signal preprocessing and heart rate variability (HRV) analysis which is appropriate for remote homecare and health care applications. The hardware design was developed in Verilog hardware description language. FPGA platform Xilinx Spartan-6series chip XC6SLX45T was used for system prototyping and functionality verification.
