Abstract :
Describes a method to suppress maternal and noise contaminations in single-lead fetal ECG recordings. A nonlinear state space projection technique originally developed for noise reduction in deterministically chaotic signals is used. The method is successfully applied to recordings with fetal components and noise of comparable amplitude.
