Real-time Monitoring of Vital Signs based on Miniaturized Ultra-wideband Radar

Abstract

This paper presents a miniaturized ultra-wideband frequency-modulated continuous-wave radar for health monitoring purpose. The radio frequency (RF) front-end and digital processing back-end are integrated into a single PCB, which is quite compact and portable. Experiment for real-time monitoring of human vital signs is implemented to verify the performance of the radar.
