Abstract

The accuracy of a Ka-band physiological movement detector was tested and compared for measurements from four different body orientations and at five different distances. A rigorous spectral analysis approach is developed when previously adopted small-angle approximation model is not applicable. This theory analyzes in detail the harmonics observed in phase-modulated Ka-band Doppler radar, explaining the reason for better heart-rate accuracy when detected from the back of the body. It also explains the advantage of double-sideband transmission in avoiding the null point problem. Simulations have been performed to illustrate this theory and provide design guidelines for the system. This theory has also been verified by experiments
