System and method for processing multi-directional ultra wide band wireless backscattered signals

A wireless processing apparatus for detecting activities, the apparatus comprising:

• a housing having a maximum length of six to twenty four inches and width of no longer than ten inches, the housing having sufficient structural strength to stand upright and protect an interior region within the housing, the housing having a height characterizing the housing from a bottom region to a top region, a plurality of levels within the housing numbered from 1 to N, where N is an integer greater than 2;
• a speaker device configured within the housing and overlying the bottom region;
• a compute module comprising a processing device overlying the speaker device;
• an audio module coupled to the compute module, the audio module having a micro phone to receive an audio signal from a human user within a vicinity of the apparatus;
• an ultra-wide band (“UWB”) module comprising an antenna array coupled to the compute module, the antenna array configured to sense a back scatter of electromagnetic energy from spatial location of a zero degree location in relation to a mid point of the apparatus through a predetermined angle range, the back scatter of electromagnetic energy being caused by the human user within a vicinity of the apparatus, the antenna array comprising;
• a support member;
• a plurality of transmitting antenna spatially configured on a first portion of the support member to transmit an outgoing UWB signal;
• a transmitting integrated circuit coupled to each of the plurality of transmitting antenna and configured to generate the outgoing UWB signal;
• a plurality of receiving antenna spatially configured on second portion of the support member to receive the back scattered of the electro magnetic signal derived from the outgoing UWB signal;
• a receiving integrated circuit coupled to each of the plurality of receiving antenna and configured to receive an incoming UWB signal from the back scattered electro magnetic signal and configured to convert the incoming UWB signal into a base band signal;
• and
• an artificial intelligence module configured over the compute module to process information from the incoming UWB signal to provide an output to detect an activity of a human entity.

A method processing an electromagnetic signal generated from an ultra wide band (UWB) radio frequency (rf) signal to detect an activity of a human user, the method comprising:

• generating a base band outgoing UWB signal;
• receiving the base band outgoing UWB signal at a switch device and directing the outgoing UWB signal using the switch device to one of three antenna arrays configured in a triangular configuration to transmit the outgoing UWB signal from spatial location of a zero degree location in relation to a mid point of an apparatus through a 360 degrees visibility range where each antenna array is configured to sense a 120 degree range in a horizontal plane, and each of the antenna array configured to sense and transmit at least an 80 degree visibility range as measured from a vertical plane that is normal to the horizontal plane each of the three antenna arrays comprising:
• a support member;
• a plurality of transmitting antennas spatially configured on a first portion of the support member;
• a transmitting integrated circuit coupled to each of the plurality of transmitting antennas and configured to transmit the outgoing UWB signal;
• a plurality of receiving antennas spatially configured on a second portion of the support member;
• a receiving integrated circuit coupled to each of the plurality of receiving antennas and configured to receive an incoming UWB signal and configured to convert the incoming UWB signal into a base band;
• and
• receiving a back scattered electromagnetic signal caused by an activity of a human user redirecting the outgoing UWB signal.
