Abstract

A new system for contact-less heartbeat detection is proposed. Operating at 2.4, 5.8, 10, 16, and 60 GHz, our system shows the possibility to detect the heartbeat rate at a distance of 1 m from the person. The heart rate variability is extracted as well. Originating from experimental measurements, a model presenting the cardiopulmonary activities is proposed. Separating the heartbeat signal from the respiration signal is done using different methods and for several SNR values.
