Abstract(in English) Abstract: When applying an instantaneous AGC/ALC to fetal Doppler signal, the envelop distortion caused by rapid gain changing on attack process causes erroneous or uncertain heart rate measurement due to modified envelop of the signal. The syndrome can’t be solved only by adjusting its attack and/or decay time constant. In this study we try to use detoured/delayed signal AGC/ALC system where the delayed main channel gain is controlled by un-delayed sub channel AGC/ALC control parameter, in order not to distort envelop of heart beat signal. This method was found effective in experiment, however, in real signal a variety of other variation prevented its unanimous effectiveness. The project is left open for further study.
