Abstract :
A method is presented to non-invasively separate the fetal phonocardiograms (FPCG) of the fetuses in a multiple fetus pregnancy. The method uses a device like a stethoscope. We assume that the phonocardiograms of the fetuses are statistically independent. Results of simulations are included in the paper.
