A novel setup for automatic measurement of ECG signal parameters

The proposed work suggest an automatic test setup for the measurement of various parameters of ECG signals based on a recursive segmentation technique. This recursive segmentation technique is a time domain analysis and is preferred over frequency domain analysis, This relative inefficiency of the frequency domain analysis for electrophysiological signals is to a large extent due to the fluctuations of the biorhythms. The variation in frequency and amplitude of the signal induce an averaging effect that tends to mask out certain elementary phenomena. This difficulty is overcome in recursive segmentation techniques by assigning an adaptive time base and measuring the various parameters with respect to this time reference.
