The discrete wavelet transform is commonly used as a denoising step for many applications, like biomedical applications which are usually suffering from low SNR of the recorded signal. However, the choice of appropriate threshold value for DWT coefficients plays significant role in reconstructing the denoised signal. This paper presents a design of real-time wavelet denoising architecture which is suitable for wide range of real-time denoising applications. In this design, an adaptive thresholding approach based on feedback control loop is proposed to make the architecture more applicable for real-time wavelet denoising. This thresholding method considers a noise level estimator module based on first detail coefficients level 𝑑1 to calculate the unknown standard deviation of background noise. The proposed architecture is developed using MATLAB to simulate the suggested denoising method. The performance of the proposed denoising method is studied in terms of integral gain 𝐺 of feedback control and window size 𝑀 with respect to the improvement in SNR and settling time. The results imply that the proposed denoising architecture is suitable for real-time denoising applications with acceptable improvement in SNR approximately 8 dB.
