Obtaining QRS Complexes<br />

The QRS complex has to be detected in<br />

every heartbeat. This complex is the highest<br />

peak generated from the heart waveform.<br />

Although the signal has been filtered and<br />

amplified, it is necessary to include a digital<br />

band-pass filter with a bandwidth of 10 Hz<br />

to 25 Hz to remove high-frequency noise and<br />

low-frequency drift. Afterwards, filtering a<br />

derivation is implemented and a threshold is<br />

taken to determine whether the data is part of<br />

the QRS signal.<br />

Heart Rate Monitor Design<br />

For more information on how to design a<br />

heart rate monitor, refer to AN4323: <strong>Freescale</strong><br />

solutions for Electrocardiograph and Heart<br />

Rate Monitor <strong>Applications</strong>.<br />

This application note describes how to use the<br />

MED-EKG development board, a highly efficient<br />

board that can be connected to the <strong>Freescale</strong><br />

Tower System to obtain an electrocardiogram<br />

signal and measure heart rate.<br />

The application is implemented using<br />

either the MK53N512, MC9S08MM128 or<br />

MCF51MM256 MCUs.<br />
