Abstract

In this paper we present a continuous wave radar created using a software defined radio platform that uses doppler effect to measure the heart-rate and breathing. The measurements are evaluated using a classic energy detection method and a cyclic spectrum estimation technique, then the two methods are compared. The results show that by taking advantaging of the cyclic autocorrelation of the bio-signals we can get better detection than the usual energy detection.
