Summary:
Subcircuits designed for integrated silicon DCS1800/ PCS1900 base station receivers have been reconfigured into hybrid and single-chip Doppler radar transceivers. Radar chips have been fully integrated in 0.25 µm silicon CMOS and BiCMOS processes. These chips have been used to monitor heart and respiration activity without contact, and they have successfully detected heartbeat and respiration rate up to 1 m from the subject. This monitoring device may be useful in home monitoring, continuous monitoring, and physiological research.
