An ultra wideband (UWB) system-on-chip radar sensor for respiratory rate monitoring has been realized in 90 nm CMOS technology and characterized experimentally. The radar testchip has been applied to the contactless detection of the respiration activity of adult and baby. The field operational tests demonstrate that the UWB radar sensor detects the respiratory rate of person under test (adult and baby) associated with sub-centimeter chest movements, allowing the continuous-time non-invasive monitoring of hospital patients and other people at risk of obstructive apneas such as babies in cot beds, or other respiratory diseases.
一款超宽带(UWB)系统级芯片雷达传感器已经在 90nm CMOS 技术中实现,并进行了实验特性分析。该雷达测试芯片已应用于成人和婴儿呼吸活动的非接触式检测。现场运行测试表明,UWB 雷达传感器可以检测被测者(成人和婴儿)的呼吸频率,其关联的胸部运动幅度在亚厘米级别,这使得对医院患者以及有睡眠呼吸暂停风险的人群(如婴儿床中的婴儿)或其他呼吸道疾病患者的连续式非侵入式监测成为可能。
