An authoritative guide to the theory, technologies, and
state-of-the-art applications in microwave noncontact sensing and
analysis
Engineering researchers have recently developed exciting
advances in microwave noncontact sensing and analysis, with new
applications in fields ranging from medicine to structural
engineering, manufacturing to transportation. This book provides an
authoritative look at the current state-of-the-art in the
field.
Drawing upon their years of experience in both cutting-edge
research and industry applications, the authors address microwave
radar for both noncontact vital sign detection and mechanical
movement measurement. They explore key advances in everyday
applications of microwave and Doppler radar, especially in the
areas of radio frequency technologies, microelectronic fabrication
processes, and signal processing hardware and algorithms.
Microwave Noncontact Motion Sensing and Analysis:
* Reviews the theory and technical basics, from electromagnetic
propagation to signal processing
* Discusses all major types of motion sensing radar, including
Doppler, pulse, and FMCW
* Explores important advances in detection and analysis
techniques
* Uses numerous case studies to illustrate current applications
in an array of fields
* Provides integrated coverage of human vital sign detection,
through-wall radar, and Doppler vibrometry
* Offers a well-informed look at emerging technologies and the
shape of things to come
An important resource for engineers and researchers with a
professional interest in micro-wave sensing technology,
Microwave Noncontact Motion Sensing and Analysis is also a
source of insight and guidance for professionals in healthcare,
transportation safety, the military, and law enforcement.
