In this paper, a FM-CW radar in UHF band is used to detect this signal by extracting the amplitude modulation of the reflected signal using an specific digital signal processing. Respiratory rates of 11 and 15 breath per minute have been measured for two different persons. These values are within the natural range of respiratory rate.","PeriodicalId":373813,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 19th Mediterranean Microwave Symposium (MMS)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126664517","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Initially, a single stacked patch antenna is designed to operate at 26 GHz band while maintaining good performances of bandwidth and gain. Better performances are obtained by stacking the superstrate layer above the antenna structure, thereby improving the gain and the bandwidth. The proposed antenna covers the frequency band from 23.02 GHz to 26.12 GHz resulting in a wide bandwidth with a compact size of 13*12 mm2. Performances of the antenna are improved by incorporating an array of 2 identical elements based on the single designed patch antenna, resulting in a higher gain. The proposed array consists of 2 elements using 0.65 mm AR1000 substrate. The two element antenna array shows a good performance in terms of bandwidth (1.7 GHz) and gain reaching 12 dBi with a size of 13*25mm2. The proposed designs are a great potential application for deployment in 5G generation.","PeriodicalId":373813,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 19th Mediterranean Microwave Symposium (MMS)","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133016351","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

According to evanescent-mode propagation technique, by loading the complementary split-ring resonator (CSRR) on the metal surface of the substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) structure, an additional passband below the SIW cutoff frequency can be obtained. The proposed HM-SIW filter has a center frequency of 6.87 GHz, fractional bandwidth FBW of 7.6 %, a total size equal to 41.48 mm2 and pass-band width of 520 MHz.
