The development of the health monitoring brings an increasing demand on robust, reliable and accurate remote detection of cardiac signal. Based on the ability to penetrate non-metal obstacles, microwave Doppler radar is promising to provide a non-contact and unobtrusive measurement. To detect an accurate and reliable cardiac signal, both the hardware system and the signal processing approaches are developed. First, a noise suppression scheme and a clutter removal strategy are investigated to improve the performance of a microwave Doppler radar system. Then, further investigation on detected radar signal is conducted to verify that it can represent the cardiac signal SCG, and a method is developed to independently extract the SCG features from radar signal without using a contact electrocardiogram (ECG) signal that conventional methods rely on. With the investigations on hardware system and signal processing approaches, the complete non-contact detection and evaluation of cardiac healthiness can be achieved.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Noncontact Seismocardiogram Signal Detection using Microwave Doppler Radar "}],"uid":"28475","created_gmt":"2019-12-06 20:33:59","changed_gmt":"2019-12-06 20:33:59","author":"Daniela Staiculescu","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2019-12-19T13:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2019-12-19T15:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2019-12-19T15:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2019-12-19 18:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2019-12-19 20:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2019-12-19 20:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"434381","name":"ECE Ph.D. Dissertation Defenses"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"100811","name":"Phd Defense"},{"id":"1808","name":"graduate students"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
