ABSTRACT

The contributions in the previous chapters paved the way for the design and characterization of RF sensor as an integrated circuits. The experimentation are first verified using a Vector Network Analyser (VNA) as a transceiver element. Then, the measurement setup is operated simultaneously at the designated operational bands. Finally, a PCB is devised from indigenously comprehended concurrent dualband components and commercial ICs such as SMD GaLi-24+ power amplifier (PA) and SMD SYH 63LH+ mixer. The baseband signal processing is carried out to extract the desired signal. The received signal consists of the additional information of human chest disarticulation modulated onto the carrier. The desired information of the human respiration and heartbeats can then be obtained from the baseband signal via proper signal processing.
