title: System identification for the ECG using CZT.
abstract: A new approach for extraction of clinically useful parameters from the ECG signal is presented using the system identification technique of CZT on the DCT-transformed signal. A one to one relationship between the model singularities and the significant points in the time signal is arrived at. The method allows the determination of R-R interval needed in rhythm analysis. The complex cepstrum is used for identifying and removing the effect of zeros outside the unit circle. A significant data compression of 1 in 10 is achieved. A large number of continuous strips of ECG data are analyzed and the results are presented.
