Non-Contact Detection of Breathing Using a Microwave Sensor

Non-Contact Detection of Breathing Using a Microwave Sensor

In this paper the use of a continuous-wave microwave sensor as a non-contact tool for quantitative measurement of respiratory tidal volume has been evaluated by experimentation in seventeen healthy volunteers. The sensor working principle is reported and several causes that can affect its response a...
