Abstract(in English) This paper presents a study on the remote measurement of heart rates using an ultra-wideband radar system. The radar system transmits a 26GHz-band microwave signal modulated by a pseudo noise sequence. The signal is transmitted towards the chest of a subject, and the echo is received and demodulated using the same pseudo noise sequence as in performing pulse-compression. The echo signal is phase-modulated by the minute displacement of the subject's chest surface. Thus, the phase of the output signal of a quadrature detector contains the vital signal of the subject. We measured the subject's vital signal using ultra-wideband radar and an electrocardiography device simultaneously and evaluated the accuracy in estimating the heart rates using the ultra-wideband radar. The results demonstrate that the remote measurement using the radar can estimate heart rates with a relative error of 1.1%.
