Sample of abdominal non-invasive fetal electrocardiogram (FECG) recording

This database contains a series of 55 multichannel abdominal non-invasive fetal electrocardiogram (FECG) recordings, taken from a single subject between 21 to 40 weeks of pregnancy. The records have variable durations, and were taken weekly (two or more records were acquired during some weeks). These records may be very useful for testing signal separation algorithms.

The FECGs in this collection were amplified using a g.BSamp Biosignal Amplifier. The data have been stored in EDF/EDF+ format.

Recording information

2 thoracic signals
3 or 4 abdominal signals (most records include 4).
Electrode positioning was varied in order to improve SNR.
The analog amplifier also includes a 50Hz notch filter switched ON.
Ag-AgCl transducer.
Bandwidth: 0.01Hz-100Hz (synchronous sampling of all signals)
Sampling rate: 1kHz.
Resolution: 16 bits.
Gains and input ranges are included in the records in EDF format.
Patient Identification contains the gestational age. The format is week+day.
