Abstract :
A quadrature direct conversion microwave Doppler radar has been fully integrated in 0.25 /spl mu/m CMOS. This ISM band radar chip has been used to detect heart and respiration movement 50 cm from the subject. While oscillator phase noise is a performance-limiting factor in CW radar systems, the range correlation effect enables measurement of small phase modulations in spite of the notoriously high phase noise of the on-chip CMOS oscillator. This is the first reported quantitative experimental verification of the range correlation effect.
