An Overview of Vital Signs Monitoring Based on RADAR Technologies

This paper is an overview on how to perform vital signs monitoring based on millimeter Wave (mmWave) Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radars. We present the general ideas and tools to reconstruct the respiration as well as the heartbeat waveforms. Furthermore, we address the respiration-rate and heart-rate estimation. Finally, we present experimental results.
