An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes an antenna module, a communication module configured to control the antenna module, and at least one processor operatively connected to the communication module, wherein the at least one processor transmits a ultra-wide band (UWB) signal including a first data frame, receives, based on the transmitted first data frame, a reflected first data frame, obtains a first channel impulse response by using the reflected first data frame, acquires information by using the channel impulse response, and receives a UWB signal including a second data frame from an external electronic device in response to the transmitted first data frame.

In some embodiments, an electric field generator includes a differential oscillator that oscillates at a nominal frequency. The electric field generator is connected to a differential antenna that radiates an electric field. A differential detector measures a frequency of the generated electric field as the electric field interacts with a body (such as a human body) in a reactive near-field region of the electric field. For each of one or more internal components of the body, a computation unit determines a respective periodic behavior in the measured frequency indicative of movement of the internal component. The computation unit also computes, for each of the one or more internal components of the body, a respective rate of movement (such as a heart rate or a respiration rate) of the internal component according to the respective periodic behavior in the measured frequency.

In some embodiments, an electric field generator generates an electric field at a nominal frequency and a nominal amplitude. The electric field generator is connected to an antenna that radiates the electric field. A detector measures a frequency and an amplitude of the generated electric field as the electric field interacts with a body (such as a human body) in a reactive near-field region of the electric field. For each of one or more internal components of the body, a computation unit determines a respective periodic behavior in the measured frequency corresponding to movement of the internal component. The computation unit also computes, for each of the one or more internal components, a respective rate of the movement of the internal component based on the determined respective periodic behavior in the measured frequency. A gain control circuit adjusts the nominal amplitude according to the measured amplitude.
