Abstract(in English) In recent years, studies on noncontact detection of vital signs such as heartbeat and respiration using radar have progressed. The problem of those studies is separating respiratory and heartbeat signal. We have utilized discrete wavelet transform to extract heartbeat signals from radar vital signs by 77GHz-band FMCW radar. In a previous report, the frequencies of respiration and respiratory harmonics had been decreased in radar vital signs using adaptive filtering. The cutoff frequency was changed based on the frequency of respiration estimated by DWT. After applying the adaptive filter for radar vital signs, DWT was applied again to improve SNR and accuracy. That method has two problems that the circuit scale is large and if the frequency of respiratory harmonics is close to the frequency of heartbeat, heartbeat frequency is also decreased. In this paper, the frequency of respiration was decreased by applying HPF before conducting DWT to improve SNR and accuracy of estimating heartbeat calculated from the front, back, diagonally upward 60 degrees, and ceiling. The result of 5 subjects from the front showed that SNR was improved by about 2 dB and the accuracy of estimating heart rate was improved by about 0.012 Hz. SNRs obtained from the others direction were also improved. While RMSEs obtained from back, ceiling was not improved.
