METHOD OF OPERATING A RADAR SENSOR SYSTEM FOR VITAL SIGN DETECTION WITH ELIMINATION OF SIGNALS EXCITED BY INTERFERING MOVEMENTS

A method of operating a radar sensor system that is configured to determine range and velocity information from radar waves reflected by a scene in an interior of a vehicle for vital sign detection. The method includes steps to decompose reflected and received signals into range and velocity information, to measure the movement over time in specified range gates and to evaluate the similarities between them. Based on the characteristics of similar behaving range bins, it can be decided whether any detected movement is related to an internal or external disturbance or by vital signs.

ARRANGEMENT STRUCTURE FOR BIOLOGICAL SENSORS

Non-contact biological sensors 1, 2 that detect biological information of a person by electromagnetic waves are provided in a seat 10 on which the person sits. The biological sensors 1, 2 are disposed in the seat 10 at positions away from members A1, A2, A3 (22, 32) which are the members, from among the members that constitute the seat 10, that interfere with the passage of electromagnetic waves. The biological sensors each have a first sensor 100 and a second sensor 200 that emit electromagnetic waves of different frequencies towards the person, and the first sensor 100 is disposed adjacent to the second sensor 200. Due to this configuration, it becomes easier to accurately detect biological information.

A vital sign detection device controls directivities of radio waves A and B toward an irradiation region of a subject to determine the vital signs of the subject. The first directivity is where the vital signs easily appear and the second directivity is where the vital signs are less likely to appear. Noise is reduced by taking a difference between information about a distance to the subject calculated on the basis of the radio wave A having the first directivity and information about a distance to the subject calculated on the basis of the radio wave B having the second directivity received by the receiver.
