Two methods to compute the fetal heart rate based on the analysis of Doppler signals obtained using continuous wave ultrasound were studied. The first uses bandpass filtering, directional signal separation and computation of the autocorrelation coefficient of the envelope of a single directional Doppler signal. The other uses discrete wavelet decomposition and reconstruction of a single directional signal with Daubechies db 10 wavelet family, with subsequent computation of the autocorrelation coefficient of the envelope of the reconstructed signal details for various scales. The results indicate that the discrete wavelet decomposition method is a suitable tool for fetal heart rate determination. It results in a more consistent fetal heart rate trace than the bandpass filtering approach.
