Sumario:The pulse carries important physiological and pathological information about the human body. The piezoresistive sensor used to capture vascular pulsation information has transitioned from a single-point to a sensor array. However, the interference signal between channels has become a key bottleneck restricting the development of the sensor array pulse diagnosis equipment. The sensor in contact with vascular pulsation obtains the pulse signal. When some sensors are displaced due to vascular pulsation, other sensors will be driven to move, which will produce interference signals. Signal interference is a common problem for sensor arrays, but few people have analyzed this problem from the perspective of the algorithm. In this paper, an interference signal recognition algorithm of the sensor array based on a convolutional neural network (CNN) is proposed. Firstly, a simple mechanical structure model was established to analyze the generation mechanism of interference signals in one MEMS sensor array acquisition system. Then, a CNN model with fewer parameters was designed for identifying interference signals. Finally, the CNN model was implemented on a field-programmable gate array (FPGA). The results show that the CNN algorithm could identify interference signals well, and the accuracy of the algorithm was 99.3%. The power consumption of the CNN accelerator was 0.673 W at a working frequency of 100 MHz. The interference signal identification algorithm is proposed to ensure the accurate analysis of array signals. FPGA implementation lays the foundation for the miniaturization and portability of the equipment.
