Abstract:

Ultra-wideband (UWB) radar has become a critical remote-sensing tool for non-contact vital sign detection such as emergency rescues, securities, and biomedicines. Theoretically, the magnitude of the received reflected signal is dependent on the central frequency of mono-pulse waveform used as the transmitted signal. The research is based on the hypothesis that the stronger the received reflected signals, the greater the detectability of life signals. In this paper, we derive a new formula to compute the optimal central frequency to obtain as maximum received reflect signal as possible over the frequency up to the lower range of Ka-band. The proposed formula can be applicable in the optimization of hardware for UWB life detection and non-contact monitoring of vital signs. Furthermore, the vital sign detection results obtained by the UWB radar over a range of central frequency have been compared to those of the former continuous (CW) radar to provide additional information regarding the advantages and disadvantages of each radar.

IR Frequency Region: Fingerprint Region

IR Frequency Region: Fingerprint Region

IR spectra are divided into two main regions: the diagnostic region and the fingerprint region. The diagnostic region of the spectrum lies above 1500 cm−1. The absorptions resulting from single-bond vibrations of the N–H, C–H, and O–H stretch at higher wavenumbers and appear on the left side of the spectrum. The stretching absorptions of the C≡C and C≡N occur between 2100–2300 cm−1. In contrast, those arising from stretching absorptions of the...

Assessing Blood pressure using a doppler ultrasound

Assessing Blood pressure using a doppler ultrasound

To obtain accurate blood pressure measurements in clinical settings, especially when traditional methods are insufficient, healthcare professionals utilize the Doppler ultrasound technique. This method uses high-frequency sound waves to detect blood flow within the arteries, which is crucial for patients with conditions that complicate circulatory system assessment.

Pulse rhythm

Pulse rhythm

Pulse rhythm refers to the pattern of pulsations within specific intervals, offering valuable insights into the regularity or irregularity of the heart's beats as observed through the pattern of pulsation within specific intervals. A regular pulse exhibits a consistent heart rate with uniform waveforms and pulsation force, variations of which can be classified as normal, weak, or bounding.
Conversely, an irregular pulse pattern is termed dysrhythmia, stemming from disruptions in cardiac...
