Faculty Lecture Series

"Through Wall Monitoring of Human Life Signs," a faculty lecture by Victor Lubecke, Electrical Engineering.

Technology that can be used to unobtrusively detect and monitor the presence of human subjects from a distance and through barriers can be a powerful tool for law enforcement, military, and health monitoring applications. Various technologies from passive millimeter-wave imaging to ultra wideband radar have demonstrated potential for identifying shapes, motion, and even materials and biological characteristics through various obstructions. Compact microwave radar systems can now detect and monitor cardiopulmonary activity for multiple hidden stationary subjects, and even leverage ambient radio signals to provide a virtually passive means to track human life signs through walls. Approaches for applications ranging from counter-terrorism to outpatient healthcare will be reviewed, with an emphasis on detection and monitoring of human cardiopulmonary activity.
