Journal ArticleDOI
Range correlation and I/Q performance benefits in single-chip silicon Doppler radars for noncontact cardiopulmonary monitoring
TL;DR: In this paper, the phase relationship between the received signal and the local oscillator has a significant effect on the demodulation sensitivity, and the null points can be avoided with a quadrature (I/Q) receiver.
Patent
Non-contact physiologic motion sensors and methods for use
TL;DR: In this paper, a radar-based physiological motion sensor is disclosed, where Doppler-shifted signals can be extracted from the signals received by the sensor, which can be digitized and processed subsequently to extract information related to the cardiopulmonary motion in one or more subjects.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
A microwave radio for Doppler radar sensing of vital signs
TL;DR: In this paper, a microwave radio for Doppler radar sensing of vital signs is described using custom DCS1800/PCS1900 base station RFICs, which can detect heart and respiration rates from a distance as large as one meter from the target.
Journal ArticleDOI
Signal-to-Noise Ratio in Doppler Radar System for Heart and Respiratory Rate Measurements
TL;DR: In this article, a Doppler radar transceiver has been used to measure motion due to heart and respiration in human subjects wearing normal T-shirts, and the theoretical signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) expression was validated with this study.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The first clinical results for validating the accuracy of respiratory rate obtained for hospitalized patients using a non-contact, low power 2.4 GHz Doppler radar system are presented.
