System and method for detecting movement of an individual using millimeter wave radar

Abstract

A sensor including: a transmitter configured to transmit electromagnetic waves between 1 GHz and 300 GHz; a receiver configured to receive the electromagnetic waves from the transmitter, wherein the transmitter and receiver are positioned in relation to a subject to be scanned such that the receiver receives reflected electromagnetic waves; and a control station for processing the received reflected electromagnetic waves and determining movement of an individual. A method for determining movement of an individual including: transmitting electromagnetic waves between 1 GHz and 300 GHz to a subject to be scanned; receiving reflected electromagnetic waves from the subject; analyzing the electromagnetic waves and reflected electromagnetic waves to determine movement of the individual.
