Millimeter wave radar breath sensing Principle of human body sensor

I. Introduction

In modern society, the progress of science and technology has brought a lot of convenience to our life. Among them, sensor technology, with its unique advantages, has become an important force to promote social development. Millimeter wave radar as an advanced sensor technology, its application in the field of human body sensing is particularly prominent. This article will elaborate on the principles of millimeter-wave radar breath-sensing human sensing sensors so that readers can gain a deeper understanding of the core mechanisms of this technology.

Ii. Overview of millimeter wave radar

Millimeter wave radar, as the name suggests, is a radar system that uses the millimeter wave frequency band for detection and ranging. Millimeter wave radar has the characteristics of short wavelength, wide frequency band and strong anti-jamming ability. These characteristics make millimeter wave radar perform well in detection accuracy, anti-jamming ability and detection distance.

Millimeter wave radar transmitters emit millimeter wave signals, which are reflected back after encountering obstacles (such as the human body) and are picked up by receivers. By analyzing the signal reflected back, millimeter wave radar can obtain information such as distance and speed of obstacles. Due to its unique advantages, millimeter wave radar is widely used in automotive autonomous driving, security monitoring, smart home and other fields.

Third, the breathing induction principle of millimeter wave radar

The working principle of the human body sensor is mainly based on the ability of millimeter wave to detect the tiny movement of the human body. Specifically, the sensor transmits and receives millimeter wave signals to sense the breathing movement of the human body.

Transmitting and receiving millimeter wave signals

Millimeter wave radar sensors transmit millimeter wave signals to the surrounding environment through a transmitter inside. When these signals encounter the human body, some of the signals will be reflected back by the human body, forming an echo signal. These echoes are then picked up by a receiver inside the sensor.

During breathing, the chest makes small movements. This motion causes the reflected mmwave signal to change in phase and frequency. It is by capturing these changes that millimeter-wave radar sensors sense the breathing state of the human body.

Signal processing and analysis

After receiving the echo signal, the MMwave radar sensor will carry out a series of signal processing and analysis operations. These operations mainly include amplification, filtering, demodulation and other steps to extract useful information from the original signal.

Through the accurate measurement and analysis of the phase and frequency changes of the signal, the millimeter wave radar sensor can accurately judge the breathing state of the human body. For example, by analyzing the frequency change of the signal, the human breathing rate can be deduced; By analyzing the phase change of the signal, it is possible to infer the breathing depth of the human body.

Respiratory status recognition

On the basis of signal processing and analysis, millimeter wave radar sensor can further identify the breathing state of human body. This includes determining whether the body is breathing, the frequency and depth of the breath and other parameters.

These identification results are important for many application scenarios. For example, in the field of smart home, indoor environmental parameters can be automatically adjusted to improve living comfort by monitoring the user's breathing status; In the field of medical health, real-time monitoring of patients' breathing status can provide timely information for medical staff, which is conducive to timely diagnosis and treatment.

Four, the advantages of millimeter wave radar human sensing

Compared to other types of sensors, millimeter-wave radar breath-sensing body sensing sensors have significant advantages.

Non-contact induction

Millimeter wave radar sensor adopts non-contact induction mode, without direct contact with the measured object. This sensing method not only avoids the inconvenience and limitation that may be brought by the traditional contact sensor, but also improves the accuracy and reliability of the measurement.

High precision detection

Millimeter wave radar sensor has high detection accuracy and can accurately identify the tiny movement of human body. This makes it excellent in applications such as human breath sensing, providing accurate data support.

Strong anti-jamming capability

Millimeter wave radar sensor has good anti-interference ability and can effectively deal with other electromagnetic interference in the environment. This enables it to maintain stable performance in complex environments, providing a strong guarantee for practical applications.

Suitable for all environments

Millimeter wave radar sensors are not affected by environmental factors such as light and temperature, so they are suitable for applications in a variety of complex environments. Whether indoors or outdoors, day or night, millimeter wave radar sensors can work properly, providing stable support for a variety of application scenarios.

In healthcare, millimeter-wave radar sensors can be used to monitor a patient's breathing status in real time. By continuously monitoring the patient's respiratory rate, respiratory depth and other parameters, it can provide timely information for medical staff, and help timely find and deal with potential health problems. In addition, millimeter wave radar sensors can also be used for remote health monitoring to facilitate chronic disease management and rehabilitation treatment.

Security monitoring field

In the field of security monitoring, millimeter wave radar sensors can be used to achieve human intrusion detection, perimeter protection and other functions. Due to its non-contact induction and high-precision detection characteristics, millimeter wave radar sensors can accurately identify the activity trajectory and behavior pattern of intruders, so as to issue alarms and take corresponding measures in time.
