Abstract: This paper describes an approach to design and implementation of digital filter algorthims based on field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs).The advantages of FPGA approach to digital filter implementation include higher sampling rates than are available from traditional DSP chips, lower cost than ASIC for moderate volume applications An ECG is a simple and useful test which records the rhythm and electrical activity of the heart of the patient that suffers from any heart disease While recording ECG signal it gets corrupted due to different noise interferences and artefacts. Noise and interference are usually large enough to obscure small amplitude features of the ECG hat are of physiological or clinical interest. The bandwidth of the noise overlaps that of wanted signals, so that simple filtering cannot sufficiently enhance the signal to noise ratio…We have used MATLAB for this purpose as it is the most advanced tool for DSP applications. Also it helps to verify the design and results that comes from the hardware.
