    Abstract: A sensor includes: a transmitting antenna with N transmitting antenna elements transmitting transmission signals; a receiving antenna with M receiving antenna elements, each receiving N received signals including a reflection signal generated by the living body reflecting part of the N transmission signals; a circuit; and a memory. The circuit extracts a second matrix corresponding to a specified frequency range from an N×M first matrix calculated from each received signal and indicating a propagation property between each transmitting antenna element and each receiving antenna element, estimates the position where the living body is present using the second matrix, calculates a radar cross-section (RCS) value of the living body based on the estimated position and the positions of the transmission and receiving antennas, and estimates the motion of the living body using the calculated RCS value and information indicating correspondence between RCS values and motions of the living body.

    Abstract: A sensor includes a reception antenna, a parasitic antenna terminating in a variable load, a controller, a transmitter transmitting a transmission signal, a receiver, a memory, and a processor. The controller sets an impedance value of the variable load. The receiver receives a first signal formed of signals received by the antennas and derived from the transmission signal, and the signal received by the parasitic antenna corresponding to the impedance value. The memory stores a first signal strength value of the first signal corresponding to the impedance value. The processor sets candidates of a complex propagation channel, calculates second signal strength values of a second signal respectively corresponding to the candidates, estimates a target complex propagation channel by selecting a candidate corresponding to a minimum difference among differences between the first signal strength value and the second signal strength values, and estimates a direction of arrival of the first signal.
