Methods and systems for monitoring blood pressure in a person are disclosed. A method for monitoring a blood pressure in a person involves transmitting millimeter range radio waves over a three-dimensional (3D) space below the skin surface of a person, receiving radio waves on multiple receive antennas, the received radio waves including a reflected portion of the transmitted radio waves that is reflected by blood in a blood vessel in the 3D space, isolating a signal that corresponds to the portion of the transmitted radio waves that is reflected by blood in the blood vessel in response to receiving the radio waves on the multiple receive antennas, and outputting a signal that corresponds to a blood pressure level in the person in response to the isolated signal.

This disclosure relates to selection of optimum channel in twin radars for efficient detection of cardiopulmonary signal rates. State-of-the-art solutions involve use of IQ (In-phase and Quadrature) channel radar which need continuous calibration. Distance of the radar from a subject being monitored affects performance. The present disclosure enables enhanced cardiopulmonary signal rate monitoring using a time domain approach, wherein only the data from signal reflected off the radar is considered. The solution is also time window adaptive. Signal property and radar physics-based methods have been implemented for selecting an optimum channel in twin radars thereby enhancing detection of respiration rate and breath rate.

In an example, the technique also detects and measures vital signs of each human target by continuous, non-intrusive method. In an example, the vital signs of interest include a heart rate and a respiratory rate, which can provide valuable information about the human's wellness. Additionally, the heart rate and respiratory rate can also be used to identify a particular person, if more than two target humans living in a home. Of course, there can be other variations, modifications, and alternatives.
