UWB radar signal processing in measurement of heartbeat features
Seyed Mohammad Ali Tayaranian Hosseini, Hamidreza Amindavar
Abstract
In this paper, a new signal processing algorithm in ultra wideband (UWB) radar as a non-contact sensor with the ability to precisely monitor heartbeat and respiration features is introduced. Exploiting harmonic series representation model that fits completely the return signal from a human chest-wall and wisely engaging an innovative time-varying filter, we propose a new free interference signal that indicates heartbeat features. Using this signal, a novel processing procedure in extraction of heartbeat rate (HR) and heart rate variability (HRV) is proposed. By experimental data, we investigate the applicability of the new approach for real scenarios comparing to other recently proposed procedure in different aspects.
