Portable Radar Circuits and Systems for Wireless Sensing and Localization

Abstract

Wireless sensors with beamforming capability, embedded control and communication links have the potential to improve the quality of service in healthcare, infrastructure maintenance, and energy conservation. This paper provides an overview of the team's recent research activities on smart radio frequency (RF) sensors aided with advanced technologies such as beamforming, inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR), and flexible electronics. The scope of applications extends to sleep study, fall detection, indoor localization, and civil engineering.
