Rf Front End For An Integrated Silhouette Capture And Boundary Detection Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave Ultra-Wideband Radar System For The Extension Of Independent Living, Adrian Smet
Master's Theses
Limitations of current eldercare monitoring systems leave a need for new solutions. A monitoring system based on a frequency modulated continuous wave ultra-wideband short-range radar is proposed for this application. The complete proposed monitoring system is comprised of four blocks: boundary detection, silhouette capture, human identification, and data transmission. This paper develops the RF front end hardware for the silhouette capture subsystem.
System requirements are derived for the silhouette capture subsystem. An architecture for the RF front end is designed, and required individual component specifications are determined. Components are selected off the shelf or custom designed for each socket. Full …
