frequency domain, I changed the signal using FFT

The filter that I use is lowpass filter and wavelet. The

results of the two filters can be seen in Figure 4.2. I use
Lowpass filters to limit the frequency of the signal to be
passed and the wavelet filter to filter out random noise.

The results after filtering using lowpass filters and

wavelets, in the time, density and large domain the
amplitude decreases. Whereas in the frequency domain,
random noise on the ECG signal is no longer found
because the wavelet filter dampens above 100 Hz.

5. CONCLUTION
Labview can be used as a biomedical signal
processing application. This can be seen in the EKG signal
filter simulation using wavelets, and IIR digital filters,
precisely lowpass filters. Based on the results of the
experiment, noise at the PLN current of 50 Hz and the
frequency above 200 Hz on the ECG signal can be filtered
properly.
