Abstract
UWB signals have become attractive for their particular advantage of having narrow pulse width which makes them suitable for remote sensing of vital signals. In this paper a novel approach to estimate periodic motion rates, using Ultra Wide Band (UWB) signals is proposed. The proposed algorithm which is based on wavelet transform is used as a non-contact tool for measurement of respiration motion rate. Compared with traditional contact measurement devices, experimental results utilizing a 3.2 GHz bandwidth transceiver, demonstrate 99% similar results. The standard deviation of the proposed algorithm for 30 independent experiments has obtained 19% for respiration motion.
