Abstract

ECG(electrocardiogram) signal is an important basis to diagnose heart diseases, but its a weak low-frequency non-stationary signal, and possessing noise setting strong characters, neither time-domain nor frequency-domain based methods are suitable for analyzing this signal. In this article we adopt time-frequency analysis approaches which could reflect signal both in time and frequency domains. Totally, we adopts two time-frequency approaches: Pseudo-Wigner–Ville Distribution (PWVD) and Wigner High-Order Spectra(WHOS), we successfully extract characters from two kinds abnormal ECG signals, which improves our methods are effective.
