This paper presents a system for hearbeat detection using microwave Doppler technique. Using a vector network analyzer, a microwave system is tested for the detection of the heartbeat signal at a distance of 1 feet from a person. The proposed system shows the ability of detecting the heartbeat signals with the possibility of tuning the radiated power. Measurements are performed at 10dbm, 0dbm, -10dbm, -15dbm and -25dbm. Based on measurements perform for respiration and heart beatings, a signal representing the cardiopulmonary activity is presented. The heartbeat rate and heart rate are extracted from the signal using wavelet and classic filters.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
