Implementation and analysis of respiration-rate estimation using impulse-based UWB
Abstract
Previous work has shown that UWB systems can be used for remote vital-signs monitoring, with the major applications of these systems being in health monitoring and rescue scenarios. In this paper, we demonstrate the use of impulse-based UWB signals in the robust detection of chest-cavity motion and the accurate estimation of respiration and heart-beat rates, even in the presence of physical obstructions between the subject and the UWB antennas. The main contribution of this paper is an analytical framework for the development of signal processing algorithms to estimate respiration and heart rates and corroboration of the techniques with measurements. The analogy between the bandwidth of narrowband phase-modulated (PM) systems and the estimation problem is recognized through this analysis and is used to determine optimal parameters such as pulse width and sampling frequency for future experiments. We also present the results of several real-time experiments conducted under different scenarios to demonstrate the accuracy of our techniques in determining respiration and heart-rates.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
