Abstract :
In this paper Heart Beat rate is detected accurately by using Doppler radar up till a distance of 1m. Wavelet Transform is utilized successfully to calculate the Heart rate, provide an indication of the accuracy of the system and observe Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia. Signal to Noise Ratio is calculated for various frequencies and conclusions drawn.
