Abstract

Digital fetal monitoring system based on the personal computer combined with the digital signal processing board was implemented. The DSP board acquires and digitally processes ultrasound fetal Doppler signal for digital rectification, FIR filtering, autocorrelation function calculation, its peak detection and MEDIAN filtering. The personal computer interfaced with the DSP board is in charge of graphic display, hardcopy, data transmission and on-line analysis of fetal heart rate change including and variability. I used a recursive technique for autocorrelation function computation method and MEDIAN filter which can greatly reduce the amount of calculation and accuracy. I also implemented analysis algorithm of fetal heart rate change based on normal fetal sample data in order to exact diagnosis.
