    Abstract: A FCFMSIL radar includes a SILO, a frequency conversion unit, an antenna unit, a demodulation unit and a processing unit. The frequency conversion unit converts an oscillation signal of the SILO into a FMCW signal. The antenna unit transmits the FMCW signal to an area as a transmitted signal and receives a reflected signal from the area as a received signal. The frequency conversion unit converts the received signal into an injection signal and injects it into the SILO. The demodulation unit demodulates the oscillation signal into an in-phase demodulated signal and a quadrature demodulated signal. The processing unit processes the in-phase and the quadrature demodulated signals to obtain a baseband signal and thus acquire a phase and a frequency of a tone in the frequency-domain baseband signal, and determines the tone corresponding to one or multiple objects based on the phase and frequency of the tone.

    Abstract: A multiple-target vital sign detector includes a self-injection-locked oscillator (SILO), a chirp up/down converter, a frequency demodulator and a multiple-target vital sign processor. The chirp up/down converter performs conversion from an oscillation signal generated by the SILO to a frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) signal to detect an area and from a received FMCW signal reflected from the area to an injection signal, while the SILO is injected with the injection signal to enter a self-injection-locked state. The locations and vital signs of multiple subjects are extracted from the oscillation signal using the frequency demodulator and the multiple-target vital sign processor. The objective of using the SILO is to improve the sensitivity of the FMCW detection process so as to more effectively distinguish the vital signs of multiple subjects at different locations.

    Abstract: A vital sign detection system includes a radar device, a nonreciprocal network, a first antenna and a second antenna. An output signal from the radar device is delivered to the first antenna via the nonreciprocal network and then transmitted to a first side of a biological subject via the first antenna. A first reflection signal from the first side of the biological subject is received by the first antenna and then delivered to the second antenna via the nonreciprocal network and then transmitted to a second side of the biological subject via the second antenna. A second reflection signal from the second side of the biological subject is received by the second antenna and then delivered to the radar device via the nonreciprocal network for vital sign detection with random body movement cancellation.
