    Area of Science:

    • Radar Systems Engineering
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Disaster Response Technologies

    Background:

    • Through-wall respiration detection using Ultra-wideband (UWB) impulse radar is crucial for post-disaster rescue, particularly for locating survivors in collapsed structures.
    • Real-world scenarios present significant challenges due to low signal-to-noise and clutter ratio (SNCR) caused by interference signals like static clutter and noise, making detection of weak respiratory signals difficult.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a high-performance respiration detection algorithm for UWB impulse radar operating under low SNCR conditions.
    • To improve the accuracy and reliability of detecting vital signs of trapped survivors in disaster scenarios.

    Main Methods:

    • An improved UWB respiratory signal model, based on an even power of cosine function, was developed for the first time.
    • This model was utilized to reveal the harmonic structure of the respiratory signal.
    • A novel high-performance respiration detection algorithm was proposed based on the enhanced signal model.

    Main Results:

    • The proposed algorithm demonstrated about a 1.5dB improvement in both signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and signal-to-noise and clutter ratio (SNCR).
    • Experimental verification and simulation validated the effectiveness of the novel algorithm under challenging low SNCR conditions.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed UWB respiratory signal model and detection algorithm offer a significant advancement for through-wall vital signs monitoring.
    • This research contributes to enhancing the capabilities of search and rescue operations by improving the detection of survivors in disaster-stricken environments.
