Abstract

This paper proposes a design of IIR notch filter with modified pole placements. The pole angle is derived from quadratic programming to find the appropriate pole position on the unit circle in z-plane in order to achieve the symmetry of the amplitude response. The simulation results are shown when compared with the conventional design technique. Moreover, it uses the TMS320C31 DSP chip for hardware implementation. Finally, the hardware implementation can be applied to removal of ECG baseline wander and elimination of AC power line interference in ECG signal.
