We report a direct-RF pulse-based radar System on Chip (SoC) with applications in vital
signs monitoring and occupancy detection. The transmitter complies with FCC, ETSI, and …

Cognitive buildings use data on how occupants respond to the built environment to
proactively make occupant-centric adjustments to lighting, temperature, ventilation, and …

Indoor object detection and tracking using millimeter-wave (mmWave) radar sensors have
received much attention recently due to the emergence of applications of energy …

According to the group Kids and Cars, since 1990, nearly 1000 kids lost their lives because
they were deliberately or unintentionally left in parked vehicles to potentially overheat or …

An accurate, real-time monitoring of the occupancy state of each space is a necessity for
applications such as energy-aware smart buildings. In this paper, we have studied the …

Buildings consume about 30% of the world's energy, and produce 37% of global energy-
related CO 2 emissions. Building energy efficiency is becoming even more critical as climate …

Occupancy sensors are electronic devices used to detect the presence of people in
monitored areas, and the output of these sensors can be used to optimize lighting control …

Radar systems have been researched for the use of presence detection and contactless vital
sign monitoring. However, there exists no established biometrics for remote and unique …

Proximity sensors have been developing through the last decades. Adopting a radiation
source and analyzing the reflected signal, obstacles and surroundings can be sensed and …

Short-range noncontact microwave radar systems have undergone significant development
in recent years [1]. Driven by advances in modern monolithic microwave integrated circuitry …
