Abstract EN
Real-time respiratory measurement with Doppler Radar has an important advantage in the monitoring of certain conditions such as sleep apnoea, sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), and many other general clinical uses requiring fast nonwearable and non-contact measurement of the respiratory function.
In this paper, we demonstrate the feasibility of using Doppler Radar in measuring the basic respiratory frequencies (via fast Fourier transform) for four different types of breathing scenarios: normal breathing, rapid breathing, slow inhalation-fast exhalation, and fast inhalation-slow exhalation conducted in a laboratory environment.
A high correlation factor was achieved between the Doppler Radar-based measurements and the conventional measurement device, a respiration strap.
We also extended this work from basic signal acquisition to extracting detailed features of breathing function (I : E ratio).
This facilitated additional insights into breathing activity and is likely to trigger a number of new applications in respiratory medicine.
