Abstract
According to one aspect, there is provided a wireless radio module comprising a millimeter wave wireless communication transceiver configured to output radar signals for physiological measurement, a millimeter wave antenna array connected to the millimeter wave wireless communication transceiver and configured to transmit the radar signals and to receive reflected radar signals, and a processing unit configured to analyze the received reflected radar signals to determine changes in a spectrum reflecting at least one of heart rate or respiration.
Claims20
A wireless radio module comprising:
- a millimeter wave wireless communication transceiver configured to output radar signals for physiological measurement;
- a millimeter wave antenna array connected to the millimeter wave wireless communication transceiver and configured to transmit the radar signals and to receive reflected radar signals;
- and
- a processing unit configured to analyze the received reflected radar signals to determine changes in a spectrum reflecting at least one of heart rate or respiration of the user, and to initiate output of the radar signals when detecting activation of a navigation application.
