100 Hz noise spike in ECG

hi,

    I am doing project in ECG acquisition in C5505.  I have the good results now.  When I did its PSD in Matlab to get the insight I noticed a spike at 100 Hz. Why there a spike in the first place although I have put a notch at 100 Hz and cutoff at 150 Hz. Below is the picture for my results. .

Please advice... Thanks...

  • Can you give a little more details about your hardware set-up and configuration?

    Regards

  • hi Wen,

                  I am using  C5505 EVM with ADS 1258 as its daughter board for ECG purposes. First with out any changes I noticed that there is a spike at 100 Hz so I  redesigned the FIR filter with notch at 100 Hz. But it is still there although its power is decreased very much. I just wanted to know what would be the reason of that.

    Is it from the electric bulbs or equipments etc... Please advice... Thanks.
