Abstract
A system for detecting a physiological parameter from a physiological signal, includes a source of the physiological signal. Circuitry, coupled to the signal source, detects spectral peaks in the physiological signal. Calculating circuitry, coupled to the spectral peak detecting circuitry, calculates a parameter value corresponding to each detected spectral peak. Weighting circuitry, coupled to the calculating circuitry and the spectral peak detecting circuit, assigns a weight to each peak according to a feature of a signal and the parameter value corresponding to that peak. Circuitry, coupled to the weighting circuitry, selects the peak according to a predetermined criterion. Output circuitry, coupled to the selecting circuitry and the calculating circuitry, then generates the parameter value corresponding to the selected peak.
