Abstract: A precise cardiac data reconstruction method is provided, which may also be referred to herein as radar cardiography (RCG). RCG can reconstruct cardiac data, such as heart rate and/or electrocardiogram (ECG)-like heartbeat waveform signals wirelessly by using advanced radar signal processing techniques. For example, heartbeat and related characteristics can be monitored by isolating cardiovascular activity from strong respiratory interference in spatial spaces: azimuth and elevation. This results in significant improvements to pulse signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) compared to conventional approaches, facilitating heart-rate variability (HRV) analysis.

Abstract: System and method for contactless vascular flow measurement are provided. Herein, a measurement circuit emits a radio frequency (RF) waveform toward a human peripheral body part and measures micro-vessel motion in an area of interest of the human peripheral body part based on reflections of the RF waveform. Accordingly, the measurement circuit can extrapolate vascular flow information in the human peripheral body part based on the measured micro-vessel motion. In a non-limiting example, the measurement circuit can detect inner organ vibrations to measure pulse rate, strength, and/or pressure caused by radial arterial blood flow changes at the human peripheral body part. By detecting and measuring the vascular flow via the RF waveform, the vascular flow measurement system provides a non-invasive approach to detect and/or prevent peripheral artery diseases. Further, the measurement circuit emits a very low power, non-ionizing RF waveform to help minimize potential health risks to a human body.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for direct radio frequency (RF) signal processing for heart rate (HR) monitoring using ultra-wide band (UWB) impulse radar are presented. A radar sensor is able to directly sample a received signal at RF which satisfies the Nyquist sampling rate, preserving a subject's vital sign information in the received signal. The vital sign information can be extracted directly from a raw RF signal and thus down conversion to a complex baseband is not required. The HR monitoring performance from the proposed direct RF signal processing technique provides an improvement in continuous HR monitoring as compared against existing methods using a complex baseband signal and/or other measurement techniques.

Abstract: Remote recovery of acoustic signals from passive sources is provided. Wideband radars, such as ultra-wideband (UWB) radars can detect minute surface displacements for vibrometry applications. Embodiments described herein remotely sense sound and recover acoustic signals from vibrating sources using radars. Early research in this domain only demonstrated single sound source recovery using narrowband millimeter wave radars in direct line-of-sight scenarios. Instead, by using wideband radars (e.g., X band UWB radars), multiple sources separated in ranges are observed and their signals isolated and recovered. Additionally, the see-through ability of microwave signals is leveraged to extend this technology to surveillance of targets obstructed by barriers. Blind surveillance is achieved by reconstructing audio from a passive object which is merely in proximity of the sound source using clever radar and audio processing techniques.

Abstract: Methods and systems for remote sleep monitoring are provided. Such methods and systems provide non-contact sleep monitoring via remote sensing or radar sensors. In this regard, when processing backscattered radar signals from a sleeping subject on a normal mattress, a breathing motion magnification effect is observed from mattress surface displacement due to human respiratory activity. This undesirable motion artifact causes existing approaches for accurate heart-rate estimation to fail. Embodiments of the present disclosure use a novel active motion suppression technique to deal with this problem by intelligently selecting a slow-time series from multiple ranges and examining a corresponding phase difference. This approach facilitates improved sleep monitoring, where one or more subjects can be remotely monitored during an evaluation period (which corresponds to an expected sleep cycle).
