Abstract
This paper presents a novel apnea detection and respiration rate estimation method using impulse-radio ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) radar. The proposed method utilizes amplitude, time of arrival, and power in the selected band. The experimental results show that respiration rate can be estimated accurately using proposed method. And, it is shown that the selectivity between apnea and respiration can be improved more than 50 dB using the proposed method.
