A miniaturized continuous-wave Doppler radar sensor operating at 915 MHz to remotely detect both respiration and heart rate (beats per minute) is presented. The proposed radar sensor comprises a front-end module including an implemented complementary metal-oxide semiconductor low-noise amplifier (LNA) and fractal-slot patch antennas, whose area was reduced by 15.2%. The two-stage inverter-based LNA was designed with an interstage capacitor and a feedback resistor to acquire ultrawide bandwidth. Two operating frequencies, 915 MHz and 2.45 GHz, were analyzed with regard to path loss for efficient operation because frequency affects detection sensitivity, reflected signal power from the human body, and measurement distance in a far-field condition. Path-loss calculation based on the simplified layer model indicates that the reflected power of the 915 MHz radar could be higher than that of the 2.45 GHz radar. The implemented radar front-end module excluding the LNA occupies 35 × 55 mm2. Vital signs were obtained via a fast Fourier transform and digital filtering using raw signals. In an experiment with six subjects, the respiration and heart rate obtained at 0.8 m using the proposed radar sensor exhibited mean accuracies of 99.4% and 97.6% with respect to commercialized reference sensors, respectively.

Heart rate measurement using a continuous wave Doppler radar sensor (CW-DRS) has been applied to cases where non-contact detection is required, such as the monitoring of vital signs in home healthcare. However, as a CW-DRS measures the speed of movement of the chest surface, which comprises cardiac and respiratory signals by body motion, extracting cardiac information from the superimposed signal is difficult. Therefore, it is challenging to extract cardiac information from superimposed signals. Herein, we propose a novel method based on a matched filter to solve this problem. The method comprises two processes: adaptive generation of a template via singular value decomposition of a trajectory matrix formed from the measurement signals, and reconstruction by convolution of the generated template and measurement signals. The method is validated using a dataset obtained in two different experiments, i.e., experiments involving supine and seated subject postures. Absolute errors in heart rate and standard deviation of heartbeat interval with references were calculated as 1.93±1.76bpm and 57.0±28.1s for the lying posture, and 9.72±7.86bpm and 81.3±24.3s for the sitting posture.
