  • Biometric authentication using wideband UHF/VHF radar
    Patent number: 10690766
    Abstract: A wideband RADAR system and method is provided for biometric identification and authentication of a human subject. The system includes a source of wideband RADAR signals, an amplifier, and a splitter in electrical communication with the source of wideband RADAR signals and configures to split a generated signal into a transmit signal and a reference transmit signal. A transmitting antenna is configured to transmit the transmit signal from the splitter toward a turntable configured to rotate the human subject. A receiving antenna is configured to receive transmitted signals reflected from the human subject. A controller is configured to process the received reflected signals and generate polar representations of biometric radar signature features to compare against known signatures of human subjects.
