The fetal electrocardiogram (FECG) recorded from the maternaI abdominal wall, due to its low amplitude, is very sensitive to various interferences. Some of them, like the muscular interferences, are characterized by a wide range of shared frequencies and comparable amplitudes. The most dominant interference - maternaI electrocardiogram - many times exceeds the level of the useful signaI. Contrary to the classical adult's electrocardiography, in fetal electrocardiography, there are no established signal databases (AHA, MIT-BIH) enabling us to perform the testing of the systems and algorithms being under development. This paper presents a method of modelling of artificial signals corresponding to the waveforms recorded on the abdominal wall. The method enables generation of electrocardiographic signals, with strictly determined parameters, and allows us to control the type and level of the noise added. The proposed database with the pattern signals will enable us to test new signal processing the algorithms used in our KOMPOREL System for non-invasive FECG diagnostics.
