Abstract :
A design of microwave autodyne heart rhythm and breath sensor is discussed in the paper. Principles of sensor design, based on the Doppler´s effect, are shown. It was shown the use of autodyne ensures excellent performance of the sensor. The sensor construction possesses extreme simplicity. Conventional patch antenna conforms to the microwave sensor design ideally.
