Abstract :
The authors have proposed a direction estimation method of the living-body using array antenna in multi-path environment. However, this method has a problem that takes time as several tens of seconds. In this paper, we present a fast algorithm for estimating living-body direction. The experiment showed that the proposed method works well in estimating living-body direction with high accuracy in multi-path environment even when the observation time is less than conventional method.
