Microwave Doppler Radar for Heart Beat Detection Versus Electrocardiogram: A Validation Approach

International audienceThis paper provides a validation approach for a microwave Doppler Radar system used for heartbeat detection. The proposed system is tested at 16 GHz with several transmitted power, simultaneously with a pc-based electrocardiogram. Obtained results show accurate detection for the heartbeat signal in terms of heartbeat rate and heart rate variability
