Fig. 2 ECG showing several beats.
The problem with the T wave for measuring heart rate is that if I tried to use a level crossing detector (imagine a horizontal line near the top of the R wave) to measure heart rate, it would not work if the T wave's height was almost the same as the R wave, or even larger than the R wave.
One way is to overcome this problem is to use filters. The first part of this question is based on what you see in Table 9-4(see the beginning of the test for this table). What filter (type, cutoff frequency and first or second order) would you use, so that you could detect the R wave and not have the T wave interfere with the level detection. You need to justify your answer, and I would expect a few paragraphs.
The second question is based on how would you rectify this problem in the time domain, using terms such as differentiation vs. integration, rise time or fall time, slew rate, etc.). Again, I would expect a few paragraphs
