Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Baseline wander (BW) is a common low frequency artifact in electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. The prime cause from which BW arises is the patient's breathing and movement. To facilitate reliable visual interpretation of the ECG and to discern particular patterns in the ECG signal, BW needs to be removed. In this paper, a novel BW removal method is presented. The hypothesis is based on the observation that ECG signal variation covaries with its BW. As such, the P, Q, R, S, and T peaks will follow the baseline drift. On this basis, the following proposition is true: a reliable approximation of …

This, in turn, makes the control of SRM drives a challenging task. As the control of SRMs depends on the inductance profile, it requires an adaptive control technique for optimum operation over a wide range of operating speeds. This paper presents an adaptive control technique for optimum excitation of SRM drives. The proposed control …
