  • Publication number: 20220202358
    Abstract: An electronic device and a method for detecting apnea are provided. The method includes: transmitting a wireless signal to a human subject, receiving an echo corresponding to the wireless signal, and obtaining channel state information (CSI) from the echo; generating a detection result according to the CSI; outputting the detection result. Here, the detection result indicates whether an apnea event has occurred on the human subject.

  • Publication number: 20210119740
    Abstract: A system and a method for signal sensing are provided. The system for signal sensing includes a sensing device, a processor and a time server coupled to the sensing device. The sensing device includes a plurality of receivers and an oscillator coupled to the receivers. The receivers are synchronized by receiving a time synchronization signal from the time server. The receivers monitor a plurality of signals of an object according to a clock generated by the oscillator and obtains a plurality of channel state information (CSI) according to the signals. The processor calculates an angle of arrival of the signals according to the CSI.

  • Publication number: 20210022619
    Abstract: A system and a method for signal sensing are provided. The system for signal sensing includes a processor, a transmitter, a receiver, and an oscillator. The oscillator is coupled to the transmitter and the receiver. The oscillator generates a clock signal. The transmitter transmits a plurality of output signals according to the clock signal. The receiver receives a first output signal reflected by an object according to the clock signal and obtains a channel state information according to the first output signal. The processor identifies a state of the object according to the channel state information and outputs the state of the object.

  • Patent number: 10763978
    Abstract: Provided is a wireless positioning calibration system, including a plurality of transmission base stations, at least one sniffer base station and a positioning server. The at least one sniffer base station receives a plurality of channel state information (CSI) transmitted by the plurality of transmission base stations. The positioning server receives the plurality of CSI transmitted by the at least one sniffer base station. The positioning server calculates a phase error and an antenna spacing error generated by the at least one sniffer base station by means of the plurality of CSI, and compensates the phase error and the antenna spacing error. A wireless positioning calibration method is also provided.
