Abstract

The factors influencing on vital signal detection are discussed by introducing Cramer-Rao Low Bound (CRLB) for Ultra Wideband (UWB) in this paper. The CRLB is described on the basis of the impulse UWB sequential signal module and the Maximum Likelihood rule with Fisher Information Matrix (FIM). A novel detection method based on Multifold High Order Cumulant Fast Fourier Transform (MHOC-FFT) is used to process the simulated noisy signal and to estimate respiratory frequency. Simulated results verify the influence of the key parameters on vital detection. And the novel detection method has high Detectability with the capability to improve SNR and reduce higher harmonics.
