- Abstract
This paper presents a real-time and non-contact dual-mode embedded impulse-radio (IR) ultra-wideband (UWB) radar system designed for microwave imaging and vital sign applications. The system is fully customized and composed of three main components, an RF front-end transmission block, an analog signal processing (ASP) block, and a digital processing block, which are integrated in an embedded system. The ASP block enables dual-path receiving for image construction and vital sign detection, while the digital part deals with the inverse scattering and direct current (DC) offset issues. The self-calibration technique is also incorporated into the algorithm to adjust the DC level of each antenna for DC offset compensation. The experimental results demonstrate that the IR-UWB radar, based on the proposed algorithm, successfully detected the 2D image profile of the object as confirmed by numerical derivation. In addition, the radar can wirelessly monitor vital sign behavior such as respiration and heartbeat information.
