Abstract :
Proposed is a detection algorithm for physiological monitoring with Ultra Wide Band (UWB) radar. This new algorithm is based on detection of movement energy in a specified band of frequency using wavelet and filter banks. One of the advantages of this algorithm is its ability to detect heart and respiration rates of a subject in an environment containing other motion. The heart movement is detected with the accuracy of 95% and respiration with the 100%. This algorithm has a repeatability of 93% which is a significant characteristic of the method.
