A Short-Range UWB Impulse-Radio CMOS Sensor for Human Feature Detection

📋 论文概要

该论文提出了一种用于人体特征检测的短距离UWB脉冲无线电CMOS传感器，能够实现非接触式的人员检测、定位和监测，包括步态和心肺活动等特征。解决了在可见光、红外和超声波等传感方式无法工作的不同可见度条件下的环境感知问题。

💡 主要创新点

• 采用UWB脉冲无线电技术实现非接触式人体特征检测，克服了传统传感方式在低可见度条件下的局限性。
• 传感器可嵌入环境并与现有无线基础设施组网，构建智能响应环境，用于儿童、患者和老年人的无侵入健康监测。

Taiwan 2 This paper presents a wireless non-contact sensor that enables detection, localization, and monitoring of people along with their specific features such as gait and cardiopulmonary activities. These types of sensors can be embedded in the environment and networked with the existing wireless infrastructure to create an intelligent and responsive ambient where the health of children, patients, and the elderly can be monitored without intrusion. None of the common sensing modalities including visible optical, infra-red, and ultra-sound can operate under different visibility conditions, without Line-Of-Sight (LOS), under environmental noise, and measure human-specific features simultaneously. Radio Frequency (RF) sensors have been used to localize humans, and monitor their gait and vital
