DESIGN OF MEANDER LINE ANTENNA FOR FOETAL MOVEMENT DETECTION

The Fetal movements for each women's are exclusive for each individual fetus. The existence of healthy nature of the fetus is in the comfortable zone. In addition the healthy nature of the pregnancy is based on the movement rate, strength and frequency of the motion. The reduced fetal movement indicates, pregnancy women have reduced fetal growth, stillbirth and pre-term birth. The important information required by the pregnant women is to give alert about the regular fetal kicks otherwise reduced fetal movements indicates a risk of fetal hypoxia. The outcome of a pregnancy is based on the frequency and intensity of the fetal movements. So, here in this project a meander line antenna is designed in order to detect the fetal actions.
