The identification of light mesons in the HADES spectrometer is based on an invariant mass reconstruction of their decay into e+e- pairs. In the delepton (e+e ) signal reconstruction particularly important is the reduction of a combinatorial background arising from wrong combinations of e+ and e- to unlike sign pairs. The purity of the dilepton signal is determined by using GEANT simulations. The analysis methods of the dilepton signal and combinatorial background reconstruction will be presented.
