UWB radar respiratory monitoring
Can we use ultra-wideband radar technology to monitor breathing as part of a wearable device?
Keywords: Embedded Systems
Sensors
Signal Processing
Radar
Multiple publications show the potential of using ultra-wideband radar technology to monitor the breathing rate of a person. The signal is emitted by an antenna, and the measured reflections of the person's chest are used to measure its motion and ultimately breathing.
In this project, we will evaluate and procure UWB transceivers, replicate published work to monitor respiration, and explore new ways of using this technology.
Ultimately, we are interested in investigating whether the sensor can be integrated in a wearable device, effectively reversing the sensing principle presented in existing work.
Throughout this project, you will explore related work, evaluate sensors and embedded systems, design sensing systems, implement firmware on embedded systems, and systematically acquire, process, and analyze data.
Experience with sensors, embedded platforms, signal processing and/or PCB design is beneficial.
