A New Method for Non-line-of-sight Vital Sign Monitoring Based on Developed Adap- Tive Line Enhancer Using Low Centre Fre- Quency Uwb Radar

چکیده
The physiological parameters monitoring of human target are considered to be a meaningful and challenging task in non-lineof-sight (NLOS) scenes such as rescue of trapped survivors in postdisaster. In this paper, a new method based on developed adaptive line enhancer (DALE) is proposed to monitor vital signs via ultra-wideband (UWB) radar with centre frequency of 400MHz. The validity of this new method is proved by means of two experiments with different positions of human target. The good results demonstrate that this new method can be used for vital sign monitoring including respiration and heartbeat through the obstacle. Furthermore, the motion responses due to respiration and heartbeat in different body positions are also discussed.

Ultra-wideband (UWB) impulse radar plays an important role in contactless vital sign (VS) detection. The VS can be extracted remotely by acquiring the oscillations in the human chest. Unfortunately, it is usually challenging to identify VS due to the low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) only based on the traditional fast Fourier transform (FFT) especially in complicated conditions. To extract VS acc...
