Summary:
The authors have proposed a non-contact vital sign detection method using a microwave. In general, the body surface movement due to respiration is significantly larger than that of heartbeat, and this obstructs heartbeat detection. In this paper, we propose the microwave heartbeat detection method by suppressing the respiration component. Measurements were carried out in a multi-path environment, and the experimental results showed that the proposed method works well in detecting heartbeat.
