Considering that the input signal of electrocardiogram (ECG) equipment must correspond to the characteristics and timing requirements of the control system, this study presents a mathematical analysis of ECG signals to determine an optimal control-signal model. Fourier-based signal modeling was applied to ECG wave forms using the MathCAD computational environment, with emphasis on accuracy, stability, and computational efficiency.
Several approximation orders were evaluated, and the eighth-order Fourier model was identified as providing the most favorable balance between signal fidelity and noise suppression. This model preserved key morphological features of the ECG waveform while minimizing redundancy, achieving an average reconstruction deviation of less than 3%.
The results demonstrate that Fourier-based mathematical modeling offers a reliable and efficient foundation for control-signal development in biomedical systems, supporting improved synchronization, real-time signal interpretation, and adaptive system design.
