Patent number: 11368160Abstract: A non-contact phase-locked and self-injection-locked vital sign sensor includes a self-oscillating voltage-controlled frequency-adjustable radiating element and a phase-locked loop. The self-oscillating voltage-controlled frequency-adjustable radiating element is used for transmitting an oscillation signal to an organism and for receiving a corresponding reflected signal from the organism to be posed at a self-injection-locked state, the oscillation signal being tuned by a vital sign of the organism to form a frequency-tuned signal.
