Questions:
1. (65 points) Find a mathematical model for a heart beat. The figure below shows a graphical
representation of the signal:
Hints and clarifications:
Compose the heart beat signal from basic signals using the cases technique. The equation
below provides a start point:
ecg(t) =
8>>><>>>:
P (t) for 0 t < 3 ⇥ 0.04
... U
(t # 16 ⇥ 0.04) for 16 ⇥ 0.04 t < 17 ⇥ 0.04
(1)
Model the P , T and U waves with cos(2⇡ft).
Use up to 50 words and appropriate diagrams to describe the construction of each
individual case.
2. (35 points) Draw a graph of the signal model. Link the individual components of the wave
to the mathematical model.
