Abstract
A system for monitoring a health parameter in a person is disclosed. The system includes a frequency synthesizer configured to generate radio waves across a range of stepped frequencies, at least one transmit antenna configured to transmit the radio waves below the skin surface of a person, a two-dimensional array of receive antennas configured to receive radio waves, the received radio waves including a reflected portion of the transmitted radio waves, processing circuits configured to generate data that includes amplitude and phase data in response to the received radio waves, and means for determining a value that corresponds to a health parameter of the person in response to the amplitude and phase data.

A system for monitoring a health parameter in a person, the system comprising:
- a frequency synthesizer configured to generate radio waves across a range of stepped frequencies;
- at least one transmit antenna configured to transmit the radio waves below the skin surface of a person;
- a two-dimensional array of receive antennas configured to receive radio waves, the received radio waves including a reflected portion of the transmitted radio waves;
- and
- processing circuits configured to generate data that includes amplitude and phase data in response to the received radio waves;
- means for determining a value that corresponds to a health parameter of the person in response to the amplitude and phase data;
- and
- means for isolating a signal from a particular location in the 3D space in response to receiving the radio waves on the multiple receive antennas by using beamforming to focus a receive beam on a particular blood vessel of the person.
