Abstract
A high gain (20.35 dBi), wide-band (3.78 GHz), leaky-wave antenna (LWA) design with beam scanning capabilities (12°) is presented for remote vital sign monitoring (RVSM) utilizing the Doppler radar technique at 60 GHz-band frequencies. Since a narrow frequency band is required for Doppler radar in vital sign monitoring, the antenna beam scanning is achieved by tuning the operating frequency across 62-65 GHz band. Remote health monitoring measurements have been taken with two identical antennas at 3 m distance from the subject. It is shown that both the breathing rate (BR) and heartbeat rate (HR) can be successfully detected within 20° of the angular range by tuning the operating frequency from 62-65 GHz.
