Digital filters, as one of the most essential tools for signal processing, are often used in ECG signal processing. The hardware implementation of conventional digital filters relies on a hybrid device composed of a digital multiplier, an adder, and a delay unit. However, it has characteristics of a large amount of calculation, complex structure, and high overhead. With the development of computer technology, software implementation of signal processing and filter designing has been increasingly used. As a typical physiological signal, an ECG signal is characterized by a weak signal, complex noise, broad frequency spectrum, and little data sampling. The ECG filter designed by software can effectively weaken the useless noise in ECG signals, helping medical personnel obtain relevant information on patients’ symptoms and realize the diagnosis of diseases.
