Multiband non-invasive microwave sensor : design and analysis

Description

"This monograph focuses on the design, implementation and characterization of a concurrent dual band RF sensor for non-invasive detection of human vital signs. The developed prototype is tested, verified and analyzed for detection of occupancy of human beings in a room as a case study."--Provided by publisher.
