Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain an undisturbed signal continuously even when an expectant mother moves on foot, etc., by installing a supersonic probe deep in the vagina of the expectant mother in a manner that the ultrasonic probe transmits and receives a beam of supersonic waves in a direction almost parallel to the minor axis of the probe and that the plane of the probe which transmits and receives supersonic waves faces the advance part of a subject fetus. CONSTITUTION:A supersonic probe 1 is installed deep in the vagina 18 of an expectant mother 17 with the plane of the probe transmitting and receiving ultrasonic waves (vibrators 2 and 3) faced to the advance part of a subject fetus 19. The advance part of the subject fetus 19 is irradiated with CW supersonic waves transmitted by the vibrator 2, and supersonic waves containing a blood stream component of basilar artery or carotid artery are received by the vibrator 3 and given to a Doppler reception part 6. Output of the Doppler reception part 6 turns into a pulsating Doppler shift signal that has its lower band sufficiently cut, is subjected to frequency modulation in a telemeter transmission part 7 and is sent out from an antenna 4. Radio waves from the mother (antenna 4) are received by a bar antenna 9, demodulated in a relay circuit, and sent out from an antenna 15 after amplification. Radio waves from the antenna 15 are received by an antenna of the main body of the title equipment to be continuously recorded, and a heart rate of the fetus of the expectant mother is continuously monitored.
