Resumen


Resumen
La necesidad de sistemas de monitorización y transmisión de señales de electrocardiograma (ECG) ha aumentado drásticamente en la era postpandemia. En este trabajo de investigación se desarrolla una plataforma de transmisión de señales ECG como alternativa en el monitoreo de pacientes en el área de Telemedicina, la transmisión se realiza en un transceptor de RF adaptado a una etapa de potencia mediante un amplificador de RF que opera en su región lineal. La plataforma opera en la banda de 2.5 GHz, y se evalúan diversos esquemas n-QAM, el desarrollo de sistemas de monitoreo de ECG permite que la cobertura sanitaria garantice que las personas puedan acceder a servicios de salud de calidad sin enfrentar dificultades financieras. La implementación se desarrolla bajo un esquema de modulación 128-QAM. Se desarrolla un algoritmo de digitalización, transmisión y posprocesamiento de señales en la tarjeta de desarrollo FPGA Cyclone V. La propuesta desarrollada está alineada con la agenda 2023 de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas en materia de salud universal. Además, se implementa una evaluación espectral, la transmisión desarrollada ofrece una alternativa de clasificación de señales para análisis posteriores de clasificación y diagnóstico.

Abstract
The need for electrocardiogram (ECG) signal monitoring and transmission systems has increased dramatically in the post-pandemic era. In this research work, an ECG signal transmission platform is developed as an alternative to patient monitoring in the Telemedicine area. The transmission is carried out in an RF transceiver adapted to a power stage through an RF amplifier that operates in its linear region. The platform operates in the 2.5 GHz band, and various n-QAM schemes are evaluated. The development of ECG monitoring systems allows health coverage to ensure that people can access quality health services without facing financial difficulties. The implementation is developed under a 128-QAM modulation scheme. A signal digitization, transmission, and post-processing algorithm is developed on the Cyclone V FPGA development board. The developed proposal is aligned with the United Nations 2023 agenda on universal health. In addition, a spectral evaluation is implemented, and the developed transmission offers an alternative signal classification for subsequent classification and diagnostic analysis.
Keywords: 128-QAM, ECG, FPGA, Telemedicine.
